Hey Everyone,

I'm reinstalling my rebuilt steering box but I have misplaced my shop manuals so I can't look up my torque specs. I need to know 3 things, can anyone look these up for me? Thanks

1. Pitman Arm to Center Link
2. Pitman Arm to Steering Box Shaft
3. Steering box to frame bolts (the 3 from inside the wheel well)

 

Here's what my '67 shop manual has if it helps:
1. 35-47 ft/lbs.
2. 85-110 ft./lbs., except 390 CID = 150-225ft./lbs.
3. 50-65 ft./lbs.

Thanks, I was actually able to find 1 of the 5 booklets, and luckily it was the one I needed. For a 69 it also said 35-47 ft/lbs. but then the 150-225ft/lbs for the other. Still couldn't find the 3rd spec though, I'll make sure those are good tomorrow.

Can you or someone else also tell me what the spec is for the steering wheel to column nut? I don't think that spec is in the booklet I found and I need to move my wheel over a few teeth tomorrow.

Thanks again!

 

20-30 ft./lbs.
