I started to reply once before but stopped because I can't give you an exact figure. But I can tell you it ain't much. I twisted the head right off one of the bolts on my 78 and had to drill it out - not pretty. For the rest of them I snugged it up, but didn't put any more torque on it than I do the valve cover gaskets. This isn't to force them into place, it's just to keep them still once they're in. Haven't had a glitch with any of them.
