1978 corvette.
Anyone have the torque specs for the 2 nuts holding the steering column seal & plate. This is at the firewall where there is a plate with bolts going through the firewall and connects with a plate and seal on the steering column. ?

Thanks...
There are no torque specs on those . Just don't pretend that you are arm wrestling the biggest guy in high school . I just had my steering column in and out several times during my build . Just stug them up with a reasonable amount of pressure. They are not as critical as the rag joint.

I Used 150 in lbs, (12.5) ft lbs which is good and snug.
There are torque specs on those bolts. (100-140 lbs in) This picture is from the 69 AIM, but that spec should not have changed since that part of the car is basically the same.
