Default Need some torque specs quickly!

Hi all, I'm in the middle of putting everything back together after my tranny swap and need some quick torque specs. I've read the chart that JRP posted in his superfaq, but don't know which bolts I'm looking at.

1. Driveshaft to u-joint bolts. The four little bolts that hold the driveshaft retainers on. I think they're 16 ft/lbs, just need confirmation.

2. Torque Arm to Rear End nuts. The nuts at the end of the two long bolt go through the torque arm bracket and the rear end. The instructions that came with my UMI TA don't specify torque specs.

3. Bolts that connect my driveshaft loop to the tunnel mounted torque arm. Maybe I should call UMI for this one.

Thanks in advance

PS should I use locktite on any of these fasteners?
