I'm about to reinstall the rear end in my '70 chevelle. What foot pounds should the upper and lower trailing arm mounting bolts be tighten to?

According to Haynes repair manual;
Upper and lower control arm bushings...80 ft-lbs[both front and rear]
Shock absorber upper...12 ft-lbs
Shock absorber lower...65 ft-lbs
Stabilizer to control arm... 55 ft-lbs
Spring retainer...25 ft-lbs
Upper control arm front bracket...55 ft-lbs
Enjoy!
