Default D-36 posi cap torque specs

I just got the rear back from the cyro shop and i'm putting it all back together.

I can't find the recommended torque specs for the posi caps in the chilton's book that i have. Anyone know them ?

Also how much fluid does the empty diff take ? And How much posi additive is recommended and can i get it from the Zone or is GM the place to get this ?

Thanks Guys

Mike

Time to buy a FSM. According to mine the diff side bearing caps get torqued to 40 - 50 ft. lbs. The diff holds approx. 4 pints, total. Two bottles of the GM friction modifier are recommended and GM IS the primary source.

RACE ON!!!

Time for a Factory Service Manual. I agree with CFI-EFI about using only GM additive.
