Torque wrench for water pump install?

I'm changing my waterpump this weekend but I don't have a torque wrench. Do I need to get one or can I get away without it?
I'm also changing the plugs and wires and I was wondering what wires would be good for a pretty much stock engine.

Thanks

I guess that you don't NEED a torque wrench to tigheten them but its a real good idea. Not only is there a torque setting specified, but you have to make sure they are all torqued down the same otherwise you can get leaks...if you do it without, make sure you are careful and tigheten them all the same amount.
