Spindle Nut Torque - 9 in Drum Brakes????

the year is now 2022
A great deal of information about theses old cars has been improved upon since the late 60's such as how tight should the front wheel bearings be. The proper way from back then is not very precise but go ahead keep using the caveman procedure rather than the best way to set the torque. I am not interested in arguing with the stubborn old school here but go ahead as it will be just like the timing chain tensioner BS. Flame away.

While spinning the drum/rotor seat the wheel bearings by tightening the bolt. If you have good mechanical feel just tighten it till it's tight then back it off, if not try 15 ft lbs with the towque wrench. Using an INCH POUNDS torque wrench tighten the bolt to 90-120 inch pounds depending on use while spinning the drum/rotor. Small tires 90
big tires 120
that's it...
