Torque specs were not very common in the era when these cars were design and manufactured. Most threaded fasteners were at best what we now call Grade 2.
Hopefully one of the 1928 experts will respond.
If not I suggest that you use the torque value for a Grade 2 fastener of that size and thread pitch.

20 - 25 ft-lbs assuming stock and lubricated rod bolts. If there's any question, I'd recommend replacing your rod bolts, Model T bolts are a suitable replacement ( https://snydersantiqueauto.com/Prod...=Products/model-t/engine/connecting-rods) or you can make your own with a little patience and a grinder. -Tyler

RE the rod bolts, some T guys use the 350 Chevrolet rod bolts. :)
