1959 Cadillac 390 Water Pump Torque lbs.

[DeLoreanDMC81]

Hey gang. Just a quick question for you, and believe me, I try to find the answers before asking on here. And yes, I need to get a repair manual.

What is the specified torque for the water pump bolts, as well as the top inlet tube?

Thanks so much!

If you are on Facebook, checkout this post.  I made some studs to temporary hold the pump and gasket during the load process.   Remove each stud and replace w/the proper bolt and the gasket does not fall out of place.  Top Tip.
