Harmonic Balancer torque spec degrees?

What is the Harmonic Balancer supposed to be torqued down to on a 1994 GT anybody know? My Chiltons manual in one place says 70-90 degrees and in another 100-120 degrees trying to find out which is right.

Just get it as tight as you can.

I torqued mine to 105ft lbs...no problems...so far?

"Getting it as tight as you can"...isn't neccesarily a good thing...you get a 100lb guy vs. a 280lb guy that is built...there could be some difference in the torque

As long as it doesnt come flying off, it doesnt matter.

Cool, I had it at 110 when I put a new balancer on last week before I realized coolant was leaking between the timing cover and block so get to have the fun of doing it again this weekend, what fun. Not to mention my POS Chiltons has pics and instructions for 1989-1993 Mustangs in half of the pages even though they're not the same, might see if the parts store has a different manual tomorrow so I can dump this thing.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
