Default 72 FX Compensator nut torque

What is the torque for the compensator nut? I find 170 for the gear shaft nut torque which if I remember correctly is the right torque. Also red or blue locktite?

Last shovel I owned was a 79 FLH (bought new and sold in 85) and I remember the torque being in the 170 area.
