How much do I torque spark plugs on a 81 12a k thanks

 

hmm i just do it till its a little tight dont do over tight if you did it may wreck your thread and that would be really sucky new housing

 

What an odd question.

The Haynes manual says 9-13 ft/pounds. That's a pretty wide range, presumably to accomodate individual preference and technique since no one really uses a torque wrench on spark plugs anyway.

 

1) need a good quality heat resistant anti-seize compound on the threads. Got mine from mazdatrix(.com)
2) HAND thread in as tight as you can
3) 1/4 turn more with a socket wrench
