SantanielloITA · November 9th, 2007, 02:55 PM

Hourofpain · November 9th, 2007, 03:30 PM

.54

itschristorres8 · November 9th, 2007, 04:16 PM

ok its not .54 first of all thats HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its .054 the 0 is important!

i wouldnt gap yours at what i gap mine at...mines at .032 going to .030 in a lil when i changed the plug to colder plugs.

but gap yours at .054

SantanielloITA · November 9th, 2007, 04:19 PM

so i should do it at .054
if u bring it down to .032 is it supposed to be colder or sumthing?

SantanielloITA · November 9th, 2007, 04:21 PM

itschristorres8 · November 9th, 2007, 04:27 PM

no it will not make it colder...i have to buy different part number spark plugs. til your s/c, nitrous or tubro you wont have to worry about colder plugs

SantanielloITA · November 9th, 2007, 04:30 PM

Then hes an idiot, we do it so we don't blow out our sparks -

SantanielloITA · November 10th, 2007, 12:10 AM

jabrennan · November 10th, 2007, 05:16 PM

it should be .054

unless it's came off there should be a sticker under your hood with a diagram on it and it also lists your spark gap...least there is on my '01
