I'm installing a rebuilt c-4 tranny. What are the torque specificatons for the bell housing case to the transmission?

 

I always torqued it to the point that I was about to strip the threads

 

pretty damn tight.as tight as you can get with a ratchet unless your a wimp in which case get a bigger guy to do it for you.although i do have a friend that drove a big block chevy montecarlo around for years with only 3 bolts in the bell.but that was a bowtie....lol elmers glue probly would have held that together.
