5219 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Someone may correct me on this, but I recall reading somewhere that torque wrenches were not used prior to the mid or late 1930's. Did Chrysler use that engine in later applications? That may be your best chance to find possible torque specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 On cars for which torque settings are not available you can go by standard tables listing max torque for different size nuts and bolts. An industrial supply house that sells nuts, bolts, etc should have such a chart. They also appear in the back pages of old engineering manuals.

nickelroadster Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just make sure that you understand that different grades of bolts have different values. I would use something in between grade 2 and grade five values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WallyScott Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Thank you for the info - will pass it on to my husband who is Wally and is 82 and restoring this Chrysler 66 after finishing the family car which he has had in the family since 1937 - he does not use the computer but reads what is on here - he has pulled the motor down on our 1928 Chrysler 52 since he was 12 years old and it runs without a problem but was a bit dubious about this car which we bought in March and was advertised as a restorer's dream lol lol which has turned ut to be a nightmare lol - thanks for the information - Wally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
