Anyone know the torque...

for a 1950 B2D differential housing cover? And a more comprehensive shop manual? I have the typical shop manual and there are a lot of information holes.

An old pro once told me when working on ammonia refrigeration threaded plumbing to tighten fittings until they would not turn any more. Then go one more round. I have worked on automotive applications for over 50 years. The only time I have used a torque wrench is on compressible gaskets such as a head gasket that holds high pressure. All others are done by "feel".

use the standard torque for size, pitch, material and class as found easily on internet or in many Chilton/Haynes manuals etc.

Your my kind of guy, Don! That is pretty much what I did.
