volare upper control arm bolt torque specs?

Anyone know what the torque specs are for the two bolts that hold the upper control are in place. took the beast around the block, and both upper A arms moved inward on the front bolts.. clearly not tight enough.

Not to highjack your thread Sam, but how about spindle thread size. 3/4 fine???? Have my dropped spindles installed but threads messed up on one side. Thanks to everyones posts re: this mod all went well. Except for now having to re-route brake lines. Joe
