I am installing my front end suspension, steering and brakes this weekend. Does anyone have or know where I can find accurate torque specs for 76 Torino? I will need for any and all bolts & nuts - upper & lower control arms, strut rods, spindles, etc. Thanks!

The factory service manual has all the specs.  I have the 1972 manual, which would probably be the same.  I can post the numbers if no one else chimes in with the 1976 specs.

I have '75 and '79 Ford shop manuals(as well as a host of other references) with specs if needed.

Yep, it's the nut that goes to steering gear. The PS gear's output shaft is 1 1/4", so 200-225 lb ft is correct. FWIW, I use a "calibrated" impact gun when installing the pitman arm Wink.
