Does anyone have a torque spec for the 3 nuts securing the tach drive housing?

Go to:
http://www.tcmlink.com/servicebulletins/index.cfm
and open SB 96-7C, the section on general torque specifications. It's all in there.

According to the TCM Overhaul Manual (which I know you'd never work on your engine without) those 1/4-28 nuts should be torqued 100-125 in-lbs.
