What's the torque spec for the front strut rod bolt on a 1970 Challenger?

Be more specific, there is no bolt on a strut rod. Do you mean where the rod is connected to the lower control arm, or the big nut at the front?

105 ft. lbs. at the control arm end and 55 ft. lbs. at the front or "K" frame end.

Also, you do not tighten the front nut on the strut rod until after the ride height has been set. Same goes for the lower control arm pin that goes through the K frame, or it will rip the bushing loose.
