    Sry, don't know the specs, but with old iron you're gonna need the service manual on more than one occasion,shouldn't have one without the other. :D

    wrench it till it's tight, I've found that most of the time youll wrench it by just do'n it up to spec's, unless it's something functional that can't be overtight should be good.

    Screws must be tighten evenly to abtain a tight joint.First turn them snug then tighten each one 1/8 or 1/4 turn at a time until all are securely tightened to 20 ft lbs...right from the book...
