Herb,
Just a "WAG" as they say, but if 80 ft lbs is good for lug nuts, I'd guess
100 is sufficient for that nut. Since it is probably both tapered and
splined and uses a lock washer to boot, it isn't going to come apart without
a puller after once being tightened. Using torque valves is really only
important when one needs to have even clamping over a multi-fastener object
or when delicate threads might be damaged from over tightening.
Engineers? Your thoughts..

Subject: [Healeys] Steering arm torque
What torque should be applied to the big nut that holds the steering
arm to the steering box? I do not find the value in my shop manual.
