10-13 on the 1/4" cover bolts and internal rocker box bolts. (but I usually don't go that tight on the cover bolts unless it has copper washers/hex head bolts) 15-18 on the 5/16" rocker box bolts.
Be sure to go super slow and torque each one a little ata time until you reach spec. If you don't follow a cross pattern you risk squeezing a gasket out of place. Easy does it!
They go in towards the manifold/carb, the front goes on the left, the rear goes on the right. If you look next to the umbrella valve you will see a small nole abt 1/16" that goes through the plate. If you drill it out to 1/8" you will improve oil drain back.
