Need torque spec for Harmonic Balancer

Can someone provide the torque in ft/lbs for the bolt securing the harmonic balancer on a 302? Had this info but got misplaced. Thanks for the help.

that seems low that's a 9/16 bolt and probably torque in the 90-105 lb. range is more like it.Just checked my manual and it says 90

I see the error of my ways.
I gave the torque for the crankshaft pully to damper bolts.
Crankshaft vibration damper bolt 70 to 90

A little tip, Loc-tite is a friend on the crank bolt. (long expensive story).

I'd rather not talk about it.

Thanks guys, I did torque it to 76 ft lbs. Didn't think about the locktite so I hope I don't experience the "sad story". Thanks again for the help.
