Does anyone know if there is a torque on the Allen head screws the hold the mounting plate to the tail shaft on a 833. I have spent 20 minutes looking in the service manual and can't find anything Hurst specs are 10 lbs... Just my $0.02...

I've never heard any mention of a torque number to use on them, measure the thread diameter, I'm thinking it is 3/8 course thread grade five fasteners, but make sure and look up the torque for that size. I wouldn't hesitate to use between 25 and 30 Ft. lbs. with red Loctite I would also Loctite (Red or Blue should be fine) the shifter mounting bolts. Do remember to heat the fasteners on the mounting plate if you need to remove it later. I have had the allens round out if one tries to remove them without a little heat. it doesn't take a lot but really helps in removal without destroying the fastener

A true machinic knows tight vs too tight. I remember hearing years ago an older mechanic say I have a calibrated elbow when ask why he wasn't using a torque wrench when working on his cars

I remember hearing years ago an older mechanic say I have a calibrated elbow when ask why he wasn't using a torque wrench when working on his cars It just comes naturally with many years of experience, but there are many cases a torque wrench is mandatory such as K frame to frame rail bolts.
