Default 72 Auto trans cross member Torque?

Can't find the removable cross member info in the AIM, looked through frame, auto-trans sections, I thought I've seen it somewhere but been through it twice and can't find the page
(I also know I'm missing pages in here as it turns out)

Anyone know off hand where about it should be?
What I'm really after is which way the long bolt go (in from the front?)
and the torque for those and the 4 that go into the frame from the bottom
Many thanks
Mooser

Hi m,
It's in the Chassis Service Manual. In specs, section 22, Turbo 400.
Crossmember mounting bolts...25 lbs/ft.
About the bolts???? Did the auto frame come to the line with the member istalled? If it did I wouldn't think there would be any info about it in the AIM.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan, tou know, your probably right, it must have come with the cross member already bolted in.
I can't find anything in the AIM (went through again after supper, gave up and brought them in at 30 lbs (felt right?!?)

The long bolts have to go in from the back since the floor plan kicks about an inch in front of the member and prevents the bolt front lining up.

Another job done
