Need torque spec

I can't find the torque needed for the bolts that hold down the spider for a roller cammed 350. I searched this forum and found nothing. My Haynes manual does not list a torque spec.
I'm guessing the correct spec is around 30 Lb.*Ft.?

i'd guess more like 150 in/lbs. i'd just use a 1/4" ratchet and tighten it up and not worry about a spec.

I ended up going with 20 Lb.Ft. or 240 Lb.In.
That's within the elastic range of a 5/16 grade 5 fastener.
I guess it really doesn't matter as long as it's tight.

Definitely. I always clean the bolt & the holes with carb cleaner to get all the oil & crud off so the Loctite does it's job.
