Cool Astro Van torque specs PLEASE!!

Hey there, I'm working on a 88-94 Astro Van. V6 4.3L.

I was wondering if anyone might have the torque specs for this vehicle.

In particular, the water pump to block specs, and other pertinent specs.

If anyone could help me, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!

Thanks in advance, Andy.
