Default Cam sprocket torque?

None of the tech pages anywhere seem to have the ft-lbs listed for the camshaft sprockets. I replaced my cam seals while doing the TB but can't put the sprockets back on until I know the torque. Knew I shouldn't have tried this without a FSM.

Also need the rotor, cap, and cap housing bracket since I had to remove all of that to get the sprockets off.

I've searched everywhere for these online and can't find them anywhere.

I take it this is for an SC400...looking at the manual it doesnt say anything regarding the torque for the camshaft sprocket although the part is still listed...

The distributor i did find. When you say cap housing bracket do you just mean the distributor housing bolting to the cyl. head?

Distributor housing: 13 ft-lbs
Rotor: 34 in.-lbs
Distributor cap: 34 in.-lbs

I sure hope not. If it is, then I way over tightened it as I torqued to 80 ft-lbs using this as the source:

No. Does the FSM call for it? There was no locker residue on the threads.
