Where can I torque specs for a '27 Essex super six. Also, does that engine only have 17 horsepower? I have to do some valve work. Is there a replacement fan belt for the car.

Torque for  cylinder head nuts is 40lbs, with engine hot.   Con rod nuts 35, then tighten to next castellated nut hole.   The horsepower is  17 N.A.C.A. or R.A.C. rating, but  depending o whether yours is a early or late series, the b.h.p. is 40 or 44.
