knuckle head torque

Does anyone happen to know the torque setting for knuckle heads in foot pounds?Have the manual,know it says tighten well,just wondered what 'well' is.In the 60's I worked on more than one but back then it didnot bother me at all to just get them very tight and ride.Now I am old and want to use a torque wrench on this one.(1945 stroker)
Thanks,
Tom

claydbal will become famous soon enough
be careful of old threads and metal fatigue. i would keep jug and head tq at around 30 #, all other fasteners i would tighten well. LOL

sorry, but it is easier to tighten a little more if you have a leak than to back off if you pull the threads out.
