Water pump torque 1956 324
Does anyone have the torque specs for a water pump for a 1956 324 rocket? Apparently it's not listed under "water pump" in the shop manual with every other torque spec at the end of the chapter.
Thanks for any help,

I'm sure there is a listed torque but I've always pulled them up snug around the pump then a little more when I rechecked it a little later. Someone here will probably have the correct torque, any issues I have ever had weren't because of torque though.... Tedd

You're right. The 1957 Oldsmobile Shop Manual shows 14-22 ft. pounds for the 5/16" bolts and 30-35 ft. pounds for the 7/16" bolts. (Page 8-27or 235)
