What is the correct inch/lbs of torque for those screws on the DC terminal block? I have a Wheeler torque screwdriver...this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012AXR4S?ref_=sr_1_1&qid=1412035967&sr=8-1&keywords=gunsmith%20torque%20wrench&pldnSite=1

And thank you.

Hi Chris,

From the manual,  it looks like the following:

"The Torque specs on the DC terminal connector (big blue terminal connector) are:
 Up to #10 AWG torque to 25-35 inch pounds.
 #8 AWG torque to 30-40 inch pounds.
 #6 AWG or above. Torque to 40-50 inch pounds"

This is from the Version 2056 of the Classic Manual,  pp 24.

Have fun with that new tool,    Vic
