57 371 main cap torque

Just got my 371 back from the machine shop and dropped the crank in. I have a old Chilton book that reads 100-140 for main cap torque. I think it means first 4 caps 100, number 5 is 140 but there are no foot notes to make it clear. Have found specs on '59 and up. They show different torque values . They show a span, just a example, I don't member the correct numbers, of 100 -120 on first 4 caps and 120-140 on number 5. It did show a footnote that the showed low number was first 4 caps and higher number was number 5. Can someone share the torque specs for the main caps? Thanks to all.
