Default 1976 FLH Electra Glide 1380cc AMF Service Manual?

I'm trying to find a service manual for my husband for his 1976 FLH Electra Glide but all the manuals I've come across have 1200cc engines. He has had this bike for close to 20 years. The engine and tranny were rebuilt 7 years ago but was then in storage until very recently. He especially needs the torque information. Is there maybe a section in the ELECTRA GLIDE-FL/FLH-1200 manual for 1380 engines or is it a separate manual? I have been searching the internet but have been unable to find the information. I was hoping someone could point me in correct direction.

My husband said it was AMF model and the 1380 engine is original as the numbers on frame and engine match.

Thanks

Also, looking for a few of the chrome covers and dashboard (were somehow lost during storage)

Meaning no disrespect to you or your husband but....for 1976, MoCo only produced the FLH model in 74 ci/1200 cc. 1978 they came out with the 1340cc /80ci. Doesn't mean that when it was rebuilt someone didn't take it up to an 80. That was pretty common for anyone who wanted a little more "gas" out of their ride. And pumping up the motor doesn't change the appearance of the cases, so numbers and title would still match.

Torques spec should be the same

Thank you for the info. I hate to ask, but just to clarify, I should look for a 1978 manual then or the specs would be the same as for 1200 (1976).

I'm sure it should be pretty obvious but I wanted to try order the manual today, and want to get the right one.

Thanks again!

Sorry for the delayed response. Just got on the computer after working on my 84 FLH late afternoon to evening. Yes the manual is the 70-E78. Should give you what you need.

The bike was 1200cc's...74 not an 80" inch. Unless its been worked. I got a chrome cast dash if you need it, these bikes are an aquired taste, just sayin'. I have an original 76 FLH liberty edition. Sort of know my way around an original lol...ask and you will receive.
