Default 1982 Corvette Spark Plug Torque.
So I’m changing my plugs here in the near future and was wondering if anyone knows the torque specs? The engine is original and the new plugs are as well.

Thanks

Dont forget to put anti seize one the threads, I have never tried to torque them just screw them in by hand and then snug with a ratchet.

The GM torque spec is 15 ft-lbs. That's equivalent to a 15 pound pull on a 1 foot long breaker bar. Good and snug with a wrench/socket gets it done. Ditto on the anti-seize stuff.
