If there is anyone out there, can you tell me the torque spec for the ZF to bell housing bolts? We loosened one to use with the engine hoist and I need to tighten it back properly.

Winch points
by jim.kosloskey＠jim-kosloskey.com 15 Mar '25

I read somewhere that there are oval cutouts at the front frame on either side which are designed for winching (apparently double strength there). If I recall correctly, they are just ahead of the a-frames and the steering rack. They are designed to be use with T hooks. My Car is in its bubble or I would try to take a picture. I have no idea how easy they are to get to.

Gas tank drain plug size?
by Mike Drew 13 Mar '25

13 Mar '25

All, I thought the gas tank drain plug was M22x1.5. Jack Pegoraro has a plug in his tank that is much smaller, something like 17.5 mm which makes me think it’s 3/8 NPT. Can anybody confirm the 1974 normal drain plug size, and actual OD of the plug? Mike Sent from my iPad
