Flywheel - 75-85 ft lbs

Torque converter nuts - 20-30 ft lbs

Trans filter to main body - 80-100 in lbs

Trans pan bolts - 10-14 ft lbs. - I would suggest to just snug them down though. There's a couple of bolts that don't have much thread and can easily strip.

You say 50 oz counter weight, what year is your engine? If you put the 50 oz flywheel on a 28 oz crankshaft, you'll tear up the bearings.

The weights changed in mid '81.
