Yea, Yea, I know. I have manuals that go back to the 20s. They all use foot pounds of torque, if you have a torque wrench that is a few years old, it says foot pounds on it. A few years ago the powers that be decided that you can't have foot pounds of torque, some genius might get it confused with a foot pound of energy.

I do know to get one feet pound, you can put one pound on bar one feet from the pivot, and you have It. I just don't like to change things just because somebody smarter than I am says so. Remindes me of the old fellow in the VA hospital, over heard telling the doctor. My foots hurt, doctor says which foot hurts, patient, well both foots hurt, but my right feet hurts worse than my left feet.
