First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I looked thru my 69 repair manual and for what you are describing there is no spec for torquing the nut, the spec is for the amount of "drag" it takes to turn the pinion. It says to seat the pinon and bearings and then tighten in small increments and keep checking drag torque. The spec for drag torque is 17 in-lb for a used bearing and 25 in-lb for a new bearing.
