sparkplug ???

[frog210]

I just want to ask the sparkplug specs with ya;;
I got Bosch Super Plus plugs 7972
what do i torque them down too?
they say 15 ft lbs on the box,
but after some research it says 20 ft lbs
i have a 74 350 v8 4bbl
thanks

just until they are snug and not much more. They strip out REALLY easy. I would go with the lower # of 15 ft lbs.

Okay cus I've been looking online and I kept coming up with 20,
But on the spark plug boxes they say 15

hey guys i need some help
i cant take out this spark plug
the 5/8 deep socket cant go on no way ive tried from all angles
i tried a 5/8 shallow socket with some vise grips didnt work
i tried a 5/8 wrench didnt work
im all out of ideas
do i have to take the headers off to do this?
Is it safe to drive like this cus i got work in 2 hours
i got the other 7 plugs changed
this one is on the passenger side 2nd one from the fire wall

should be fine to run that short term
i had to make a wrench just for headers....
but you can buy them

One like this should work. Break it loose with a wrench.

I have a cut down spark plug socket for those. Then you can get a wrench on it.
