And, a ball joint question...

Can someone tell me the torque spects on the upper and lower ball joints for a 71 C-20? All my books are for a '67, and I found out the hard way that the lower IS NOT 215 lbs., for a 71, like on a 67. Thank god I just ruined the nut, and not the new ball joint!

CE is right it's 90lbs for both and then tighten the castellated nut to the next hole for the cotter key. Never loosen.
