My Advice: The best thing to do is to tighten the sparkplugs down with a ratchet and socket till it is just tight enough to not turn by your fingers. (SNUG if you will technical terms) then you take the ratchet and turn it 1/4 of a turn and it will tighten it enough without overtightening or stripping the threads out of the motor. 1/4 means if u have the ratchet end at a 12 o' clock position turn it till the end of the ratchet goes around to the 3 o' clock position. Hope this helps.
When replacing engine internals, it is crucial to torque everything to the exact specifications, therefore you will need to purchase a repair manual that covers major engine overhaul. In doing so, you will have the exact instructions on how to complete the project.

Another post said it was on the front of the transmission towards the radiator.
If you mean engine performance, then it has 240 hp and 280 lbs of torque
Think of the torque converter as being the clutch between the engine and transmission.
For a 1997 Pontiac Transport with a 3.1L engine, the torque specification for the rocker arm studs is typically around 22 ft-lbs (30 Nm). It's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and use a torque sequence if applicable. Always ensure that the rocker arm studs are clean and properly lubricated before torqueing. For the most accurate information, it's recommended to consult the vehicle's service manual.
Replacing engine and need information.
You get the manual for the engine that you are replacing the plugs in then you use your torque wrench and tighten to the specified torque. If you have an aluminum head, be super careful and be sure to use the correct torque spec.
20 foot pounds.
By now I'm sure you've found the answer. But a Pontiac engine does not have adjustable valves. You simply torque them down to 20 foot pounds.
