Installing new rear 2 pc oil seal. When I removed the bearing cap the copper bushing on the front of the cap has 2 divits also on the inner portion.

Thanks! The Cap

Funny...
The p.6-41 1966 Service Manual small V8 says 7/16-14 Main Bearing Cap: 80 ft-lbs.

The Specifications p.9 1970 Service Manual small V8 7/16-14 Main Bearing Cap: 75 lb.ft. w/outer bolts on 4 bolt mains 65.

Hmmm.

This one is correct for a '69.

75 lb.ft., I usually incrementally increase from hand tight to 20, 40, 60, 75.

75 seems about right,i will go with that.

Thanks Again! The Cap
