Knock Sensor Torque Setting

[GAboySVO]

Does anyone know the proper torque setting for the knock sensor for an '86 SVO? I've looked in my manual and can't find the information.

Thanks in advance.

The only thing I see in the spec book is for the temp sending unit. 8-18 ft-lbs. There is a table by pipe thread or screw thread size. This is a pipe thread right? What size?

[GAboySVO]

I believe it is pipe thread and from memory, I believe that is either 3/8 or 1/2 NPT.

3/8" Pipe 23-33 lb-ft. 1/2" Pipe 25-35 lb-ft.

Thanks Mike. I knew someone here would have the answer.
