Default torque settings, inch vs foot ???

i just reinstalled my flywheel and ended up torquing the fugging bolts to 76 "INCH" pounds instead of the correct 76 "FOOT" pounds, yet , when i double checked the torque afterwards with my Foot pound torque wrench, they were all tightened to at least 76 FOOT pounds. i don't get it.
isnt FOOT pounds alot more torque than inch pounds ???
wtf ???
