I'm looking for the torque spec for the 1931 driveshaft nut after putting on the pinion gear. Unable to find it in any of the books I have.

The torque is the same as for the rear axle nut, about 100 ft. lbs. I set my torque wrench at 90 ft. lbs and then look for the cotter pin hole and then pull it up to the hole.
