I actually found the specs. 40-45ft/lbs. I set it at 43 then tightened it a bit more to get the cotter pin in. Seemed to be nice and tight. Went for a quick drive and adjusted the adjustment sleeve and tightens it down, and the steering wheel is nice and straight.

Still a little play, going to try and tighten the gear box a bit since there is some play in that. Then tie rod ends and ball joints.
