New guy here, can anyone tell me what the correct cylinder head bolt torque is for a 1969 240? I tried the torque for a 82 300 but stopped short because it felt too tight. Thanks.

this chiltons book says to go in three steps 55 65 and the final 75 it also says to put water sealer on the 1 and 6 botls and oil the rest before torquing down.
