75 ft lbs with moly and the threads MUST be chased. Torque in multiple passes 3 - 5 and if you encounter striction back off an eighth up to a quarter turn and resume. Each pass should go smoothly, if it stutters or jumps (striction or static friction) then it's not lubed well enough, it's binding on the threads or you're moving too slowly... It will usually result in false torque readings.
