Rear end mount torque settings

[Fstforward]

I am headed out to put my 8-3/4 into the 64 Barracuda. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a shop manual for this car, soooooooooooooooooo, does anyone know the torque specs for the nuts on the u-bolts/mounting plate that attach the rear end to the leaf springs???

Thanks

I have never torqued mine.... I just tighten evenly and get them tight....

According to a 71 Plymouth shop manual, the spec is 45 ft-lbs.

Faxon Auto Literature will have the factory shop manual.

Make um tight then do a couple burnouts and make um tight again.
