1977 75hp stinger, need torque #'s for head bolts

i thought i had a fuel issue after being at the lake, motor running fine at idle, but having problems getting up on plane.
after cleaning carbs and replacing fuel, fuel line and in line filter, went back and tried it again, still same thing.
so i came back home pulled the carbs again, they were clean, but cleaned again, put back on and decided to pull plugs.
2 plugs were fine, 1 had milky sludge, so i pulled head off and discovered head gasket issue. i ordered new head gasket and had head surfaced, waiting to put back together.
am i on the right track here? im new to outboards... any help with this motor would be much appreciated
 
Take torque up in 3 even steps.----------Finish at 220 inch lbs.------Start in the midlle and work out in a circular pattern.----Check torque after first good warmup and cooldown.
