Blue Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited November 13, 2017 by BlueberryDodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 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". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
