Default torque setting for bolts on exhaust manifold?

I have been hearing a tick/click from it sounds like my left front exhaust manifold on the 69. (No headers..stock manifold). I'm thinking this could be an exhaust leak and the bolts need re-torqueing...maybe.
Anyone know what setting torque the bolts?

Not many moving parts inside that exh manifold Cruisin. Broke valves parts can't get out? But a tick/click hmmm. :rolleyes: What musical key is the tone in? C or E? How 'bout frequency? Cycles per secound?
I do have a steathiscope in my tool box to track down noises. Try a long screwdriver with blade end on manifold (or whatever) and the handle end to your ear.
Lots of exhaust leaks don't start until engine heats up and the hotter metal parts expand. I use 35 ft-lbs on my header bolts. :lol:
