Torque Specs
Looking for the torque specifications for the flywheel - engine and clutch/pressure plate to flywheel for a 71 corvette, 350 base engine, 4 speed. My book has 35 ft-lbs for the clutch and nothing stated for the flywheel. Just want to confirm with the experts.

60 ft-lbs, and use some red lock tite. 
Edit: I found it listed at 90 and 60 ft-lbs, so there are different specs listed depending on the book.

Wow. Because your answer was so different I dug into a few other manuals, and found yet another number.
The first manual I got into said 90. You found 75. I just found another that says 60 ft-lbs.
I guess I would trust the '71 manual over the others, however the variance is unsettling.
