Default 305E torque specs crankcase Vent & timing question

So I have taken the 64 2500 series to the mechanic shop to do a full re-gasketing of the entire 305E - the whole thing gasket-wise is getting redone. Does not need rebuilt - just stopping the leaks. So I need to know what the head bolt torque sequence and specs are (maybe in a manual I already have?) and I know one of you already told me this, but I have lost where I wrote down the timing for it.

Appreciate your help - Thanks!

PS - this mechanic shop does all types of work on old 50's and 60's vehicles, but they see so few GMC V6's they said I should probably ask the group to throw out any known "gatchas" related to working on or re-assembling a 305E - they do not understand where the crankcase ventilation occurs for example - they said they think some of the oil leaks were caused by ineffective crank case ventilation? curious to hear what any of you might have to say....thanks
