Can anyone supply a photo of the cylinder head torque tightening sequence for a 1934-37 Airflow CW engine?

This 384 cid straight 8 engine has a top mounted distributor. We have used generic tightening patterns in the past but it would be nice to have a published reference to share. Thanks

Here is a sequence listed in the Motors manual. Does not specify Airflows,but, you would think all chrysler 8 cyl would be the same.

Many Thanks for your efforts and good intentions but the small block 8 cylinder head JPG you posted does not not have a top mounted distributor, does not provide for the two extra bolts at the distributor tower/boss on big block 1931-37 CG-CH-CL-CL*-CW Imperials.

Ok, there seem to be no source for a 1931-37 Cyl Head Torque Sequence for 384 straight 8 engine so I will share the one I have always used. Since the cylinder head studs are 1/2", I use 60-65 foot pounds torque: 35 foot pounds 1st, then 50 and 65.
PS: I doctored an existing small eight pattern to suit.
