Both my service manuals show 15 ft/lb at the yoke (differential) and 75 ft/lb at the spindle (wheel).

On my 1982, the Propeller Shafts, including the drive shaft have a curved retainer. Which uses a Torque pressure of 15 #'s. at all locations. G. M. Corvette 1982 shop manual by Helms, Pg. 4 B--21. Rear Axle. Gene
