Replacing drag link on a 48 Mercury convertible anyone know what the torque specs are for the tie rod ends?

On most fasteners where there is a cotter pin involved, the nut is well snugged down then go on to the next cotter pin hole. Since the joint has a tapered fit it doesn't have to be a heavy torque on the nut.
