I decided to pop the differential cover off today, and clean out the 45+ year-old sludge. When putting the old girl back together, I torqued all of the cover bolts to 20 ft-lbs, just to make sure I didn't warp the cover itself. I can't find anything that mentions the correct torque. Does anyone know? I just used a Felpro gasket, by the way.

Re: Torque Spec for Rear Diff Cover?
Looks like I found the answer. For a Dana 60, the cover spec is 35 ft-lbs. It's Miller time, so I'll snug 'em up tomorrow.
