Still drinking from the fire hose, but your suggestion is a good one. I'll fish around for the specs in the manual and try to summarize it. Are there other manuals that would be handy to look for?

Well not really.
The FSM really is the argument stopper - if you get what I mean. It can be a bit of a pain to use though...
Sometimes I do a quick check in my W123 Haynes (Diesel) manual but I have noticed that some of the conversions from metric to imperial are wrong - so be warned.
Compare the two numbers => ft-lbs should be (very) approximately two-thirds of the value stated in Newton meters (it is actually closer to 70% - so alternatively think of going shopping and getting 30% off for a more accurate rough check)
If you happen to have your computer up and running a search here can also help. I often use a separate tab and use google to get my results. The internal search function isn't very good in my opinion.

Good luck with the list. And if you publish it don't get disheartened if you get lots of "yeah but what about the..." comments.
