A-arm bushing question

[scotts72heavyhalf]

I am rebuilding the entire front end of our 69C10, I had the a-arms blasted and powder coated and replaced the control arms and bushings, it looks like the book calls for a torque of 270 ft. pounds ont he lowers and 170 on the upper bushings. My question is: Are the bushings supposed to seat completly into the a-arms? Mine are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch away from being fully touching the a-arm, I dont want to over tighten them but it seemds they were completly seated against the a-arm when I removed the ols ones?

Thanks
