I believe it's the same for the IRS and non-IRS diffs, which my factory
manual gives as 85-100 ftlbs.

There is supposed to be a very small amount of drag; there's a procedure in
the manual for measuring the drag and selecting shims to get just the right
amount (15 - 18 INCH pounds without the seal installed).

The pinion uses taper bearings that should have a certain amount of preload.
Too much or too little preload will theoretically reduce bearing life.

My TR6 Haynes gives 90-100 ftlb. However, ISTR late TR6 were fitted with a
collapsible spacer instead of shims, these should never be torqued that
tight or it will ruin the spacer. The very slightly higher spec is probably
because of the increased power of the TR6, my Stag manual give it as
100-120.
