What is the torque setting on the bolt the holds the fuel pump eccentric on to the cam? 50?

I got stranded today in Wilma for the first time ever. Darn fuel pump eccentric bolt came part way out. I towed it home and bought a $2.15 water pump gasket and am going to put it back together tonight.
 
Not sure of the small block torque, on a big block its 45lbs. Make sure you use loctite on it though!

Thanks for the quick responses fellas. I'm going to put it back together right now. And this time I WILL use lock-tite. Lesson learned. (dumbass) :banghead:
