Best to use a wire-type gauge when you gap them, I've found they're more accurate.
In fact my owners manual, which includes the correct gap, recommends using wire-type.
Hope that helps, sucks that so many newer owners manuals don't include basic maintenance info like that.
Torque specs for my car is 13ft-lbs. for the plugs but I prefer to thread them in by hand and then do 1/4 turn as snoopy suggested.
I don't use anti-seize on mine but that's not to say it isn't a good idea, especially on engines with higher torque values(edit: for the plugs)
