Apparently so.  Brian Schlorff tells me he tightens them to 120-150 ft lb. 
 I was using maybe half that.

hey guys do you use a special tool to crank the slotted filter plug real 
tight on the A type OD unit?..like a 'two fingered' tool to fit opposing 
slots? or a socket type tool that grabs all the slots and fits neatly onto 
your torque wrench? please clue me in as mine is 'hand tight' as it waits to 
be installed into the car.
