Spark Plug

Howdy to all,
I dropped a spark plug yesterday and the porcelain came out in a bunch of pieces..I'm at home trying to reorder through ACS but I don't have the plug with me. Have a stock IO540A4D5 motor from Vans. If my memory is correct, the champion plug only had e-8 on the side. I think. I did right down a Lycoming part number from the book which was 1182-e7
Could it be a REM38e?
What do we torque the plugs to...?
 
Lycoming specifies 35 ft lbs torque for plugs. Use some graphite thread lube, and new or annealed gaskets.
 
Auto spark plug adapters

Just a note, if you are using auto spark plugs like I do with the Pmags it?s only 18ftlbs of torque. I almost made a mistake and used 35 after switching from aircraft to auto plugs. :eek:
