torquing (torqing?) down bolts

[adey]

How do you convert inch-pounds to pound-feet? I would guess it's just a matter of pound-feet * 12... but I have a feeling it's no that simple/easy... anyone? I don't want to be driving my car around with a hand-tightened torque "measurement"... &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

just a matter of divding by 12. It is that simple.

which means 24 pound-feet of torque is equal to 2 inch-pounds of torque?? That seems kind of... err... common sensical... something I apparently lack. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> &nbsp;oh well.
Where might I get a torque wrench that goes up to 30in-lbs*12 then? That's 360 lb-ft... (right?)

other way 2lb-ft = 24lb-in of torque
