Good mourning gents,
Looking to start her up tomorrow. But I cant remember the Torque converter torque specs? I think I remember something like 45 foot pounds, but not sure.
Thanks for the help.

You didn't say which engine/trans but 35-45 pounds seems about right for a 3/8 bolt. I don't usually use a torque wrench for that but I do use red loctite on the final install.(no lock washer)
