Hi everyone, I searched this forum but couldn't seem to find the torque specs for the starter and oil drain plug. My truck is a 1973 F-250 2WD with the 5.9 360ci engine. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Also, is there a resource online somewhere where I could find all the torque specs for my truck? Thanks in advance.

 

Welcome to the site! Autozone's website, actually, has a decent number of specifications that you can search for by year\engine. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the torque numbers you were looking for using their website. What transmission is this? I would imagine the specs from other years wouldn't be too different. Maybe someone else can chime in here. As for the oil drain plug, I've never actually used a torque wrench, I've just finger-tightened it, then finished it off with a box-end wrench until it's pretty good and tight, but without overdoing it. Sorry I couldn't find you any more exact information, but hopefully someone else can be more helpful!
