Hey Jeff..

Wondering what your manual is, and says?  I have a very old (printed in 
71) 2L tech spec, it's very unclear as to the names of the parts and the 
one that makes most sense is only 40-50 ft-lbs..  a borrowed 80's 
factory shop manual, which has everything EXCEPT the lower A bush nut 
torque spec.. (apparently left out!) and an old Kenneth Ball (Brit 
pubication) Autobook for Gulias up to early 70's, and it says "90 -130 
ft-lbs".

Kinda wishing I had more than one source saying the same thing, after 
all that confusion..  though I could believe the 90 or so..  90 to 130 
is a wierdly large spread! I just don't want to overtorque it.
