Good list to have handy. Thanks for sharing!

[Region Warrior]

Thanks some of those chassis ones never gave much thought.
Never torqued fan and water pump pulley cause of fan shroud. just went by feel.
And rear starter brace. 60 ft-lbs... Is that a typo?

Here's a web page I have on specs.

Torque Specs

I'll check and see if I can add any.

Does any one know of a torque setting for oil galley plugs? Or just go by "feel"?

[beertracker]

I found the answer.

[JLBIII]

Idler arm support to frame 40 ft. lbs

[vwalburn]

Great List! Going to keep this one for future reference.

[dpoltzer]

Are you sure about 40# on the flywheel to crank? Think it should be 90-95.

[johnta1]

95 is correct for the V8, 6 cylinders are 60 ft/lb.
