The steering coupling cross bolt is 30 ft-lbs.
The two nuts that hold the flex coupling to the column flange - 18 ft-lbs.

Try looking on eBay for the lower column bearing.

I used a lower bearing for a 69 in my 68. The outer race is a little large for the plastic adapter, but it can be made to fit. I honed the plastic and filed the metal until the 2 parts slipped together.
That was under advice i got here and elsewhere, including from "columnsgalore.com" when i called them for the correct one (which they can't get).
I picked up the 69 bearing at the GM dealer.
