What torque value is recommended for installing Distributor Cap nuts (Bosch GB74) on a J3300L engine?

It would be useful to add this value to Section 3.11 Torque Specifications in the maintenance manual?

Thanks,
Gerry

Hi Gerry,
The Airframe Technical Manual says up to 4 lb.ft for AN3 which will be fine. It's generally not critical on those, you just don't want to strip the thread.
Minor fasteners generally aren't given a torque specifically in these manuals - and anything that's not given a specific number the general limits will suffice.
Regards,
Doug.
