Using 15/16 socket, the torque for the fuel tubes is 32 ft. Lbs.

37 ft. lbs torque has been increased

7. Tightening Sequence: a. Install fuel injector holdown clamp (mounting flange) bolts. Be sure the clamp is perpendicular to the injector body. Do a preliminary tightening of these bolts to 5 N·m (44 in. lbs.) torque. This preliminary tightening insures the fuel injector is seated and centered.
b. After tightening, relieve bolt torque, but leave both bolts threaded in place.
c. Install high-pressure connector and retaining nut. Do a preliminary tightening to 15 N·m (11 ft. lbs.) torque.
d. Alternately tighten injector holdown bolts to 10 N·m (89 in. lbs.) torque.
e. Do a final tightening of the high-pressure connector and retaining nut. Tighten to 50 N·m (37 ft. lbs.) torque.

Yep, 37, your right. I gave him the torque for the #6 injector line shield. The thing is not to overtighten the connector tube. I have plenty of pictures of what they look like!
