how much do you tighten sparkplugs?
Just make sure you give them a thin coat of anti-seize. It's always a good idea, but especially on these cars!
And be careful if you DO use some kind of lubricant/protectant...if you go too hard on it you'll get it in there WAY too tight. Put it in finger tight with lube and then about a 1/4-1/2 turn. No more. The last thing you want is them suckers stuck in there.
