Vette(s): 1969 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Just bought it from my uncle who owned it since 1971. Fathom green, green interior. 350/300, T400.

I'm rebuilding my original steering box. I don't have a service manual. Does anyone know the recommeded adjustment on it? I'm guessing it's in inch pounds?

Thanks,

Matt

I actually wrote that from the hotel computer while I was at Bloomington Gold. I looked for a manual there, but couldn't find one. 

Thanks for the info Joel,

Matt
