Default Torque Settings for 4spd Muncie Shift Rods

I've had my car for about a month and it stranded me because it was stuck in 2nd gear and it seemed like the linkage locked up. Once I limped it home and crawled under it the linkage was just loose. Both 1-2nd and 3-4th rods were loose so I tightened them but would rather get the proper torque setting so it won't loosen again.

I'm sure this is an easy one for most of you so thank you for the information.

I took mine off, cleaned them up with brake cleaner then reinstalled them with blue loctite. Can"t help you on the torque setting, but i snuged em up pretty good !
