>What's the correct torque for the four bolts connecting the propeller 
shaft to the output flange on the rear of an OD transmission--a J-type OD 
transmission like the one now sitting in my 76 TR6!!!  I think Bentley 
says 90 to 100 lbs, which seems excessive for what appears to be a 3/8 in 
bolt.  But I may have imagined it after the 14-hour day I just put in.

90 to 100 is for the big nut in the center, not the flange mating bolts. 
Try 30 - 40 Lb-Ft.
