Site with Torque specs
I have two books that list torque specs. The 1980 Service Manual and the Haynes manual. The universal strap clamps are listed at 15lbs in one book and 35lbs in the other? The tie rod differential bracket says 35lbs in one book and 60lbs in the other. Is there a place that lists what's correct?

Re: Site with Torque specs (Koz)
I'm not a torque wrench every bolt kind of guy,but I would go to a local machine shop and ask the oldest guy there what the specs should be. Most bolts have markings on the head indicating the grade of steel they're made of. This and the size of the bolts stock will determine the max torque the bolt can handle.
With the exception of bearings and head bolts,I'd crank down on it till you feel it's tight.Just use a wrench. Ever wonder why small wrenches have shorter handles than big wrenches?
