Default Torque spec. for Brake caliper?
Mounting the calipers on the '82 with '87 suspension the WSM says:

Brake unit to Bulkhead - Hex - 17 lbs.

Housing (Caliper) to bracket - Guide Pin - 11-15lbs.

Are either of these what I'm looking for?

you mean the big allen or the big 13mm (or so) bolt that holds the caliper in place to the hub.....

I think it was higher...35ftlbs...but I'll check
