Torque specs needed

The shaft to frame bolts ( where the shims are for the alignment) are torqued to 48 ft/lbs, As for the bushings, there is supposed to be a space of 0.5 +- 0.02 in between the arm and the sleeve, and the torque rating is 85 ft/lbs. As with all bushings , only tighten them fully when the full weight of the car is on the suspension.

As for the lowers, I would post those too, but due to a typo in the book, they are not detailed. If you need them, I can try the 1982 manuals I have and see if it is in there.
 
Control Arm torque

The lower arm to frame is 65#/ft and the upper end nuts are 85#/ft.
