If you can't find it, off hand I believe it's 14-21 ft lbs on the drain plugs. My manual is in the garage and it's cold. Way less on the primary cover something like 84-104 inch pounds--especially do not overtorque that one. Hand tight + a quarter turn will get you close, but I prefer a torque wrench. Get ready to get flamed on buying a service manual. Good luck, it's not rocket science.

I've always tightened oil plugs by feel vs. torque...getting a big arm you can crank leverage onto can cause trouble. Just remember how snug the plug felt when removed & tighten same...JMO, but have yet to strip one...

fdb2007 nailed it:
Oil- , transmission- and primary drain plug: 14 - 21 ft-lbs (19.0 - 28.5 Nm)
Derby cover: alternately tighten screws to 84 - 108 in-lbs (9.5 - 12.2 Nm)
