Well, I'm getting about 46 on the torque wrench after the initial 180 degrees or so to free it up from sitting over night. (It was up around 60lbs for that).

Higher than I thought but I'm going to assume that's OK.

The machining was done by an old 4 banger and v8 flathead guy who was known for keeping things on the tight side.

I guess I'm gack to looking at the starter and wiring.
