Correcto-mundo

Or insert the plug into a socket wrench with a permanent mark up one side..

To do this, you must know (via dyno or testing) in which direction the electrode placement will produce the most HP. Usually it's pointing towards the intake valve but perhaps not with dual plugs or multi-valve heads.

You may also need additional washers to ensure proper torque specs are meet when tightening.

I just torque to spec...
