Default Installing camber kit first time, need torque specs for Control arm (91 civic si)

I need to install this camber kit today, my new tires are coming in and my other tires are eating faster than a fat kid with a twinkie

here's what the directions say

This is an arospeed camber kit, installing on a 91 Civic Hatch Si

Need this ASAP, has to be aligned by friday !!!

I FOUND INSTRUCTIONS ONLINE

Step 1: Raise vehicle off the ground and place the jack stands on the four jacking points.

Step 2: Open the engine compartment.

Step 3: You'll notice that there are 2 large locking nuts holding the upper control arm to the strut tower. Remove these two nuts and turn the control arm around using the tire as a working space.

Step 4: Remove the anchor bolts from the control arm. Install the new adjustable anchors with the large radius facing the ball joint.

Step 5: Reinstall the control arm to the strut tower and torque locking nuts to manufacturer specs.

What are the specs for this? I dont have a manual

Step 6: Adjust camber to desired specification by sliding the control arm 1-1/4 to 3 degrees positive. Tighten and torque the bottom adjusted nut to 35 lbs.

Call the dealer.

I just looked in my Haynes manual, and couldn't find it.
