40 lb.ft, + or - 5 lb.ft. This specification is from the 65 service manual.

Just a word of caution: don't torque the front bolt that goes from the timing cover to the front of the intake to 40 lb.ft. It will snap off. More like 5 or 10!!!

I snug that timing cover one first after getting the other 10 started.

The only correct way of doing it.

Otherwise the timing cover to intake o-ring will not seal properly.
