You're an over-obsessive **** retentive newb if you put your spark plugs in with a torque wrench.
Just use the extension with the 5/8 deep socket on it and do it as tight as you can finger tight (just by grabbing the extension with your two fingers). Then put the ratchet on it and it a 1/4 of a turn.
They just have to be snug - if you do it with a torque wrench you should be shot.

I thought it was a legitimate question.
When I first started out with cars, I used a torque wrench because I didn't know how to do it by feel. Everybody starts somewhere. Should I be shot for that too?
EDIT: However, I will admit, this question could have been answered in seconds by a quick Google search.
