Working in a spiral pattern from the centre outwards, torque all EXCEPT the driver's side front to 100 pound-feet with "clean, dry" threads. The driver's side front bolt extends into the water jacket - coat the threads with Teflon paste, LocTite PST, or something similar and torque to 100 pound-feet.
Although the manual does not say to, I have the habit of torquing in three steps - 40 pound-feet through the pattern, then 80 pound-feet, and then to final torque spec. I learned that years ago, and never "unlearned" it, and I haven't had any trouble doing that since. Even on Jeep engines. I consider it a good habit...

Edit - Before I manage to forget, check your bolts for "paint marks" on the heads. If they don't have marks, mark them! If they do have marks, throw them away and buy new! AMC242 head screws can only be tightened to full torque twice - they're a modification of the "torque to yield" screws used originally on Diesels. Snapping a head screw really sucks...
