That size wrench limits how much torque can be applied. Using a 3/8' ratchet wrench to get them tight will be fine. Magnecor always recommends the use of Race Wires for any stock or modified late model street engine that is electronically managed, however most other modified or street engines can also use Magnecor Race Wires to improve ignition performance. Never bothered to torque them and never had an issue.

Modern race engines, modified street engines and stock street engines which rely on electronic devices to control the function of either or both the ignition and fuel systems are prone to interference from all other spiral conductor ignition wires sold through performance parts outlets, none of which can provide proper suppression for EMI, particularly if a high-output ignition system is used. As a result, the firing end of the spark plug can overheat and pre-ignition can occur. A spark plug that is under-torqued will not be fully seated in the cylinder head and heat dissipation will be slowed. Anytime youre boring a block distortion will occur to the cylinders unless you have a honing/torque plate installed as a brace. Magnecor Race Wires are primarily designed and constructed to be used in applications where it is essential to prevent the possibility of ignition wires compromising engine performance. Shortie Spark Plug Wires for use on coils centered between the cylinders 4.5 inches in length with 90 degree plug boots and 180 degree coil boots with Evo. Torque directly affects the ability of the spark plug firing end to dissipate heat to the cylinder head. NOTE: If you have high performance alloy or aluminum heads, always use a torque wrench to eliminate any. A tapered-seat spark plug should be tightened by 1/16th of a turn past finger tight. Even if limits are exceeded, the silicone rubber will retain its insulating ability until wires are removed from engine. If you are inspecting and replacing an existing plug, be sure to use a wire brush to clean any debris from the plug's threads. The KV85 8.5mm jacket has a service heat resistance of 600 degrees F (320 degrees C) and up to 1,000 degrees F (540 degrees C) for short burst 3 minutes. Our unique, patented 'Field Effect' design also gives the Torque Master spark plug the ability to last many times longer than conventional spark plugs. The insulating jacket is made entirely of Magnecor’s exclusive TC-1500-HS high strength aerospace grade silicone rubber, and its single layer construction will prolong the jacket’s insulating ability by conducting extreme heat away from hot-spots that occur near over-the-limit heat sources. The Torque Master spark plug has been designed, engineered and manufactured to provide maximum horsepower, torque, fuel economy and reduced emissions. Magnecor’s KV85 Competition (8.5mm)Ignition Cables feature Magnecor’s exclusive 2.5mm high capacity Metallic Inductance EMI Suppressed conductor consisting of stainless steel wire precisely wound at 200 turns per inch over a ferrimagnetic core.
