    I put a new seal and need to tighten up the Pitman Arm nut. What kind of Torque does it require? It is a 1972 302 with PS. I know it was a son of a dog to take off. I am thinking 100 lbs? Your thoughts?

    85-110 ft lbs with 1" sector shaft are the spec in my Falcon Shop Manual. I'm sure a Maverick would be close to the same
