Torque Spec for exhaust manifold

I'm replacing my 83 exhaust manifold with another factory one. What is the tighting sequence and proper bolt torque? Do you work in the middle than out?

Thanks!

Don't know the torque specs off hand but tightening center -> out is correct.

Let us know if you figure out how to get a torque wrench to fit on those nuts.

But it's not a good thing when a loud "click" comes from your wrist
