Steering arm torque
I could not find torque spec for the steering arm to spindle yokes in my 1969 C3 coupe. I used 90 ft-lb for the two 1/2” bolts and 105 ft-lb for the one larger bolt with a locking tab. I also used red Loctite. Can anyone confirm that this is sufficient.
Thanks in advance!

It came as an assembly so that info isn't in the AIM anywhere
I ran into this a ways back

General consensus seems to be 50-70 on the lower bolts and 90-120 on the upper.
I used 70 (chassis manual and Van-Steele) and 120 (no solid reference found)
