feel like. Is that snug, very snug, real tight or what? I believe it is about the same as 5 ft pounds.
I don't know if they even had a torque wrench, but that was in the stone age. Everything was by feel.
When in doubt, torque snug and use blue Loctite
If you watch the newspaper ads for Harbor Freight discount coupons and for torque wrenches to be put on sale at HF, you will be able to pick up an inch/lb torque wrench for a very attractive price. I believe I paid less than 20 for the one I have and I also bought one for my gunsmith buddy at the reduced price.
On bikes, before the 1970 Harley XLH I had a 1967 BSA Thunderbolt
