I’m going to be replacing the ignition wires on my 1931 Standard Coupe. The wires are routed through a shield (or is it considered a loom). It appears that I may need to remove the shield to change the wires. That will require the removal of 2 head stud nuts. I’ll need to torque those when I reinstall the shield. I haven’t been able to find the head torque specs for this 6 cyl engine. Does anyone happen to know the correct torque for those nuts?
Thank you
