    Hey Guys,

    Anyone have the torque spec on the pumpkin flange bolts on the Electra? Or just Locktite them and tighten them really good? Any thoughts? Thanks!!

    I"m sure there is a spec somewhere in the manual, and there is one online at Team Buick:
    http://www.teambuick.com/reference/library/75_chassis/

    ( I love this site and hang out here, but I have to admit that Team Buick has a great referance library)

    Or you could do what I did on my 72 Pontiac, which is just send "em home and give them another twist for good measure. IHardly scientific, but in 15 years they have never come loose.

    Hey thanks, I didn't even think to look on the Team Buick site. After going through the chassis manual, it looks like they are supposed to be torqued to 75 foot pounds. That whole chassis manual has alot of good information in it. Good stuff!!
