Can someone please give me the Torque Specification for the Fuel Injectors?
I received my new units today.

Thanks

Per the 1966 Technical Data book, the tightening torque for the injectors is 3-3.5 Mkp (times 7.233 to get to foot pounds.)
I also checked the later books 1969 and 1971 - these show a torque of 3-3.5 mkp.

I can verify Jonny B's data: my technical data book from 1969 says injection nozzles in cylinder head is 3-3.5 mkp.

Also, as mentioned elsewhere on the site, the box nut of injection lines is 2.5 mkp (2.5 x 7.233 ~=18 ft-lbs).
