Torque specs for aluminum intake manifold?

This should be a simple question, I did search btw. I just need to know how tight to torque the intake manifold bolts. I have an aluminum intake manifold on a 305, iron heads.

THANKS!

I believe the spec is for 35ft-lbs. That's roughly what I used for both my TPI and LT1 intakes. Start in the middle and do a criss-cross pattern outwards. Do it in 2 or 3 stages.
