When I had tires put on my '74 Eldo Police, I asked the same question.
The answer I went with at the time was 80 lbs/ft. for pinch bolts on
axles, 108-130 lbs/ft. for drum front and rear axle nut. Others said
just put the "mojo" on 'em. I just replaced the brakes, and when I put
the wheels back on, I mojo'd them. Took a ride, and the nuts are still
there!
