Anti seize on spark plugs

what do you torque them to?

Champion says 10-18 ft lbs (14mm into AL head). I do 10-12 and call it a day

thanks------another quick question—given a choice between Aluminum,copper or some other anti-seize grease, which would you use for the plugs?

Me simplifies. Anti seize on plugs, wherever found, Alloy or iron. Start the plug by hand to assure it is n9t x"d. Finish with a 3/8" drive socket rachet. Oh, chase the threads if any doubt. Not to cut metal, but merely carbon. up and snug is just fine. One expression is “don’t kill it”…

That generally correlates to… making the plug snug, against the crush washer, then 3/4-1 full turn after that.

Never torqued a spark plug in my life: the above was written on a Champion box, when I was a kid…so far, so good!
