Thanks OD, I got my torque reading from THOMPSON Repair and Tune-Up Manual 1939-1948, since it was handy. It says for the 6 & 8, 45-46 ft. lbs. and Super 8, 56-58 ft. lbs.
I just checked the 1946-1950 Packard Service Manual and it also saids to use 60-65 ft. lbs. and this is based on the size of the bolt.
I will give it another try and see what happens.
Thanks!
Wes
