'good and tight' with something on the treads.
My favs are either Teflon paste from the hardware store, like for pipe
joints, or red permatex high tack gasket sealer, my all around gasket and
stick-'em thread treatment. Prevents corrosion, is anti-vibration, and they
come out just fine 10 years later.
 If I had to guess in ft lbs. Id' say 30 to 35 max.
But I trust my calibrated 40 + years of experience elbow much more.
Sometimes the just don't feel right at the torque spec, and I think many
torque specs on general engine parts are a little 'theoretical' not really
tight enough , in a few cases anyway. 'feel' works much better on some
fasteners I think.

Subject: Need torque specs for AC bolts

I'm putting the heads back on my 2.1, and I need to know the torque for the
four bolts that hold down the ac bracket. I know it's in bentley, but I
don't know where.
Thanks,

Jim
