96GtGoodz · November 28th, 2007, 04:03 PM

no all the plug boots are in good but about gapping them i checked the old ones and the new ones they were different gaps how do you adjust the gaps? Sorry if i sound like an idiot dont know about this

HMUSN · November 28th, 2007, 04:04 PM

with a spark plug gapper.
they cost around a dollar and you can get them at any parts store.

the gap should be set at .052- .054

HMUSN · November 28th, 2007, 04:08 PM
