Default Front suspension question

Hi everyone. I am in the process of installing new ball joints and
bushings in my 90 Vette. On the upper control arm there are 2 bolts
(one on each side) 18mm that go on after the bushings have been
pressed in. I cannot find any torque specs in the shop manmual.
Does anybody know the torque? Thanks.

There have been several threads on this topic and to the best of my knowledge there is no published torque value for those nuts, other than tight. Best of luck.
