Default First spark plug change this evening, do I have it right?

84 Carrera 3.2

I'll be disconecting AC compresser.

Bought Bosch Platinum but further reading tells me to go back to Advance and get Coppers?

Don't tap set with feeler gauge in the plug. (028?)

I don't have the tool kit tool. Will be using 13/16 swivel foot socket, 3/8 drive, 6" extension. Extension taped to socket. Will see if the nieghbor has a 4" extension.

Finger tight then (no torque wrench) tighten untill I fel washer crush? Apparently this is an aquired skill. Hope I get it right. I may try using a piece of fuel line attached to the plug to get initial line up.

A little metel nipple type adapter came with each plug, will I be using this or discarding?

Searching this subject was very helpful, Just want to make sure all my bases are covered as this is my first plug change ever
