Anyone know the torque specs for the nuts that connect the torque converter to the flex plate, if there even is one?

Aftermarket from B&M specs depends on stud size.
"
STEP 21.
Install four flexplate to con-
verter nuts. Use the starter motor to
“bump” each stud into position. Tighten
nuts:
3/8" - 24 threads per inch  23 - 28 lb.ft.
7/16" - 20 threads per inch 26 - 32 lb.ft"

Factory specs show 26 lb.ft.
