[gorent]

Does anyone know the wheel tightening torque for steel rims with 7/16 -20 and 1/2-20 wheel studs on 74 dart sport 360 . I cannot find anywhere ?

They are in the shop manuals............

Closest you'll get is the 72 or 73 manual.......

Start with "wheels and tires.........." Chapter 22 and look for the "tightening reference"

A 1968 Valiant manual shows 55 ft.-lbs. for the 7/16" studs.

The 1974 Dodge shop manual (Tightening Reference, Ch. 22) says 55 ft-lbs for car lines V and L with drum brakes. All other models get 65 ft-lbs--that includes V and L car lines with disk brakes as well as all other car lines.

Thank you again ! I have recently found original manuals with these spec's !
