New Group Project - 69-70 Torque Tables
« on: November 09, 2013, 07:56:14 PM »
Though not specifically "Concours" we all find our self at times needing quick access to the suggested factory torque readings for the more typical car building components. So I thought it would be a good project to put together a group (for ever year or two) of these handy/quick guides in the library.

To that end I don't have access to every year and volume of these. I also thought  many of you would like to help out so here is the request

If you have access to a 69 and or a 70 Shop Manual please look up the following fill in the needed info. Please specify if your listing 65 or 66 ratings and if including engine torque ratings engine size since a 6 cylinder will be different from a V8 for example. Some of the following items will not apply - just ignore them - its a generic list for across the classic period ;)

Thanks for the help - once collected I'll assemble and post for the benefit of all members

Thanks Brian that takes care of the 69 engine needs - Think I've got access to the 70 engine and suspension ones so that only leaves the 69 Suspension for this set of years
