I'd ignore the answer above. This carb doesn't have a gasket. It uses a very delicate and discontinued acetate plastic carb heater plate with a silicone ring seal. If you overtigten the nuts that plate will crack and you will flood the engine with coolant and destroy a part you can't buy anymore.
Torque on small nuts and bolts is common sence most of the time There is a thick gasket under the carb then you have to take into account the grade of the bolt and the thread pitch and its size Aruel of thumb is the finer the theard and lower the pitch the more torque it requires because it will be a much higher grade of metal The bolts to your cabburtor are between 18 to 26 ft lbs you don;t want to distorut the gasket never over tighten with gaskets there job is to make a good seal good luck
