Pittman arm to gear torque spec

[YY1]

Am I missing something?

I have the digital 66 Plymouth manual and a hardcopy 67 Coronet manual, and neither has the spec for this.
In fact, any reference to the "steering arm" is hard to find.
It's not included in the disassembly procedures, but the torque specs for the steering gearbox are, although that's the only mention of the gearbox I can find!!??!!

Does it not get a spec because it has that big-*** lock washer?

In the recesses of my mind I am thinking the 70 is 129lbs on both ends. For some reason that is sticking in my head. I may be thinking of something else though.

Edit...Must have been thinking of something else...according to a site I saw this for the 71:

Pitman arm : 175 ft. lb. to gearbox & 40 ft. lb. to cross link

And on any steering parts that do not use a castellated nut, I like to use loctite...

Wonder why that's not in the manuals???

120 foot pounds for 64 manual box....

Thanks, it's 19-42 in my 67 book.
I only printed the page with suspension tq specs from the 66 book.
Still interesting that all the things around it are in that section.
I didn't even look for a "steering" section.
