Clutch Torque Specs

Hello all. My boy and I are getting ready to install a new clutch/pressure plate in his 61, 223 4 speed.
We do not have a manual (yet) and can't find the torque specs online. Does anyone have the pressure plate and flywheel specs? Thanks,

I have a 1961 factory shop manual.

Flywheel is in the Engine section.

1. Position the flywheel on the crankshaft flange and install the mounting bolts. Torque the bolts in sequence across from each other to 75-85 ft-lbs.

Pressure plate is in the Clutches section

Bolt - Pressure Plate Cover to Flywheel
5/16-18 20-25 ft-lbs
3/8-16 25-30 ft-lbs

If you don't want to measure which bolts your truck uses then 25 ft-lbs should be fine for either case.

I hope that helps.

Chad
