    lug nut torque specs???
    « on: February 27, 2010 - 09:23:54 PM »
    Just now starting my restoration on a '67 barracuda. Needs new brakes and tires. Anyone know what the lug nut torque specs are for stock 14" wheels? Thanks for the advice.

    This is Supercuda 'jacking 'Cuda Hunter's connection- the factory spec would be something like 70 lbs/ft; a 7/16" stud won't take much more than that. Don't take it above 85 lbs/ft.

    E bodies have a 1/2 inch stud. I torque mine to 95 ft-lbs.

    From the '71 factory service manual:

    B-C-E bodies - 65ft-lbs
    A bodies - 55ft-lbs
