I am using new ARP bolts (5/16" - 24) and the book i have shows torque specs for all cars except the hemi in in-lbs??? the hemi they show at 65 ft-lbs? ARP lists the 5/16" -24 to be torqued to around 28-32 ft-lbs.....which is correct?

The 65 would be for the converter to crank (5 or 6 bolts) which is higher than stock which iirc is 55 live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
