30 ft. lbs. is correct. Chain case cover is 35 ft. lbs.
Don' forget to seal them too

You mean just the lower timing cover bolts are 35 right?
The 7 water pump bolts are 30, 4 are through the timing cover and 3 go into the timing cover right?

I've never torqued them. Just put sealer on them and snug them down really well and it'll be fine.

I usually dont unless its intake or other major engine parts, but less room for error if i know they are exactly torqued even

I'm not tryin' to be mean here, but it is high time you learned to use factory service manuals. I've posted this a jillion times.
This thread......
Free service manuals
........and MyMopar. No, I don't work there. Several of the manuals there are due to the efforts of guys on THIS board
MyMopar - Mopar Forums & Information - MyMopar Tools/Reference
There is lots of other stuff there at MyMopar. The "master tech" series has a wealth of information over the years
THERE ARE A FEW MISTAKES here and there in the factory ones. The bolt torque for LA rocker shafts was too much for a few years, so use your brain. Use Google. Bolt torque charts for U.S. grade 5 (3 point) hex cap screws........
Another mistake was in the wiring diagrams for a few years around 68--70 or thereabouts. "Magically" the yellow start wire and green/red horn wire got interchanged at the bulkhead connector
