Tight. I do not think there is a spec but you have to make sure they are tight without crushing the bushings. I would say 45 ft. lbs. but that is just a guess.

You want to just barely compress the bushings with the weight of the car on the suspension. There is a spec, but I have generally found that it is too tight so I always use the eyeball method.

So just tight enough to start compressing the bushings should work? Just trying to figure out how much thread should be showing then showing, if that matters at all?

Most endlinks use some type of self locking nut, nylock, etc. We tighten until the bushing is barely compressed with no free play at all.
In the case of endlinks we're not trying to torque the fastener enough to tension it like when torquing a connecting rod or cylinder head bolt.
I agree as above, a torque number is difficult to determine and is usually too high anyway.
