Bill - Thanks, I think that table is helpful, provided I can now come up with the diameter for the threads of my spark plugs. Putting 2 and 2 together, I've seen a number of 18 ft-lbs (which I thought was too low), so I guess my spark plugs' threads are 14mm and so my spec would be 19-22.

So now how much do I torque those two coil nuts (per coil) when I reinstall them? Anyone, anyone?
