SWEET2KSTANG · December 12th, 2009, 06:09 PM

read the sticky?

Nostang · December 12th, 2009, 06:37 PM

Yea I read it jus didn't see where it said how much gap. More than Likely I over looked it I usaly do!! But iv been told .54?? Sound about right?

slikirish · December 12th, 2009, 08:30 PM

I gapped mine at .052 I believe, or .52 whichever is right. Seems to working ok for me

330CubeGt · December 12th, 2009, 09:28 PM

Mine are Gapped at .035

slikirish · December 12th, 2009, 09:44 PM

you don't count 330. It's not our fault we don't blow the spark out like you do

casper gt · December 12th, 2009, 11:18 PM

if youve still got the original motor (ie windsor), do not use NKG's in it.

Why not??? Jw Iv never hear bad things about ngk's??? So what about .52 to be safe?

330CubeGt · December 13th, 2009, 03:11 AM

.52 or .54 should be just fine. As far as NGK's go, I'll be putting them in my stang. I've heard good and bad things. I guess if they don't run so well I'll run to the store and pick up some cheap Autolites.

SWEET2KSTANG · December 13th, 2009, 07:57 AM

you plan on running that much plug gap with a 150 shot??? on nitrous run around a .032 with plug of your choice and call it a day, if not spraying, then go with the stock gap which i believe is .042

Mine are at .020".

slikirish · December 13th, 2009, 10:06 AM

^^ you don't count either then

Why not to use NGK plugs in Windsor 2V heads - Modular Revolution Forums I used this link for the pic as it does a good job of illistrating what I'm talking about. I've seen this happen 2 times in person, which is why I always advise against NKG's on a windsor.

Eagle2000GT · December 13th, 2009, 03:53 PM

I'm currently running TR6's with a .035" gap. What's a good replacement that's not NGK?

casper gt · December 13th, 2009, 04:02 PM

I personally use autolite 103's with no problems

Nostang · December 13th, 2009, 11:04 PM

Ooooooooooo.... Well I allready bought them so that's what I'm goin with for now yea Im not runnin the spray yet have to get the bottle foiled but more than likely I will be before I change the plugs so guess I'm gona gap them at .32 thanks for all the replies!!

jivepepper · December 13th, 2009, 11:32 PM

Low to moderate boost .032-.035". I'm getting ready run the NGK BR7EF 2 steps colder at .028". I have ran the NGK TR6's, Autolite 103's both one stage colder, and the Autolite AR94 2 steps colder comes with the ground strap cut back .

I have ran the NGK BR7EF in the past and out of all of them I prefer them.
