I had my single feed DP stolen from my 66 Chevelle 396. I am proceeding to install a new Edelbrock Air Gap and Holley 4150. My question is, since I am doing this outside, and not in the shelter of a garage, should I be concerned about torqueing to requirements when the temperature is in the upper 30's to low 40's? I was thinking of metal expansion when temperatures rise later, causing an over torque condition. Anything I should know about cold weather installs, other than it sucks? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I've never had a problem assembling engines in January with temps in the 20's, you should be fine.
