Need Torque Specs for steering linkage

[coolblue65]

Hey everyone,

I had all my steering linkage down but now I have a problem because my old chilitons manual does not tell me how much i need to tighten all the nuts down before I put the cotter pins back in. Can someone please tell me the torque specs?

Thanks in advance

I just give her one UMPH, and line the cotter pin up.

thats what I was going to do, but something told me i should at least double check, before I did.

I just kinda screwed it down until the cotter pin would go through. I didn't want to ruin the boots on any of the pieces.

well, the chilton's manual has done pretty well for me for the last 9 years, because I had access to a '67 manual for random things like this, but since that person is no longer around, yeah I need to get one.
