Steering Wheel Nut Torque

Hi all,
Does anyone have the torque spec for the steering wheel nut on a 91 Firebird? The best number I could find is 32 ft.-lbs. for a fourth gen wheel.
Thanks!

If you still have it, I'd make sure that the little clip goes on over the nut (it doesn't prevent the nut from loosening, but it does prevent it from coming off).
