Topic: idler arm and bracket

[dbm350]

        I can't seem to find a torque spec for the idler arm to the frame bracket nut.  The big one on the bottom of the pin.   Car is 1966, V8, manual steering.  Anybody know what it should be?
                                       Thanks, Doug

Ref. 3 of the FSM.  Idler Arm Mounting Bracket to Underbody: 28-35 ft-lbs.
Ref. 4 of the FSM.  Pitman Arm to Steering Arm-to-Idler Arm Rod or to Valve and Link Assembly: 35-47 ft-lbs.  Torque to lowest value, then tighten nut to the nearest cotter pin slot and insert cotter pin.
