You are supposed to torque them to specific specs. I am not sure what they are for a '61. Tighten the crap out of is not a correct torque setting. You could have stretched the threads and it won't tighten correctly.

If they were loose in the spindle, you could have already messed up the taper in the spindle and you'll never get them to seat correctly.
