1973 lug nut torque specs

[jtisdale]

Anyone have a 73 dart service manual. I need the torque specs on the lug nuts. 1/2 20 not the 7/16th studs. My 70 service manual says 55 ft lbs. was told it should be more for the 1/2 20 studs.

100 ftlbs is plenty...I dont have a manual but thats what I run mine at...... 55 ftlbs they will fall off.... anything american made with 1/2 20 is 100 ftlbs.....or German torque spec goodintight lol

My '73 factory service manual says 65 ft/lbs for 1/2x20 I've torqued mine to 80-100 ft/lbs for years with no problems.
