15 to 16 would be correct. Here is a handy dandy torque converter (pun intended for you slush-box aficionados):

I assume there is a decimal point missing, 155-163 ft. lbs of torque on one of those bearing cap seems like over-kill and them some, but I wanted to conform that the tightening spec. is more like 15-16 ft. lbs which would be the ft. lb equivalent of 20-22 newton meters. From my perspective 15-16 ft. lbs seems a little light. Can someone confirm the torque specification on the camshaft bearing cap bolts of a two liter Spider engine. Thanks very much!
