Anyone off hand have correct header exhaust bolt torque?

Also the setting to attach the pitman arm to the steering box
It is a big 1 5/16" nut with lock washer

Just being lazy. I could probably dig for it
but where is all the fun in that?

My 72 GM Service Manual lists the "Pitman Shaft Nut" to be torqued at
140lbs ft. Hope that's what your looking for.
