61 corvette torque specs for pressure plate

[David S.]

Hello,
Anyone know where the torque specs are located in manuals for the clutch pressure plate to the flywheel? I have the passenger car 1961 Chevrolet shop manual and the Corvette Servicing Guide manual. I have looked in both manuals several times and can't locate the torque specs for this piece.

It's only shown in the later Chassis Service Manuals, in the Specs section, "Engine Torques"; as Jim noted, it's 35 ft-lbs.
