Torque spec on spark plugs?
How much are spark plugs supposed to be torqued? I usually put them in and then snug them down firm by feel. The plugs I am refering to are the 300 I6 and the 3.0 V6 where they are not tapered and do not have a crush ring.

See my gallery, just created 9-02.

Torque spec on spark plugs?
Answered my own question. Last night I got a copy of the 1987 Ford light trucks spec book at a used book sale. It says spark plugs should be torqued 10 - 15 foot pounds. And to think, all these years I have been ham-fisting these things down, probably 30+ foot pounds
