Yes and no. I make sure my tool set has the specialized "spark plug" sockets for both the normal and "Cleveland" style plugs. These are the deep sockets with the sponge rubber washers in them so that you do not torque the socket off to one side and snap off the top of the plugs.
I used to have a Mustang with a 351 C so I have always had the 14 mm spark plug socket around. I believe the 454 in my Chevy truck also has that size plug.
I also put anti seize on spark plugs that go into aluminum heads.
