Default Snubber bushing torque

I just installed a new snubber bushing on my '79 and cannot find what the torque value for the nut should be. I tightened it to 25 lbs. and the rubber bushing expanded simalar to the look of a shock mount but it really is not very tight at all. I'm going to keep my eye on it until I find the correct torque setting. I sure am glad I replaced the bushing because it was toast although it looked ok on the car and I couldn't feel any thing wrong with it but when it was removed, wow, not much there. I hope someone knows what torque the nut should be.

Followed your instructions but it showed "0" results for torque specs. Does anyone else have the answer? Thanks

I don't have an open 79 Assembly Manual, but the 74 AIM calls for 55-75 lbs.

I would think that it should apply to 79 also.
