I get 25's and throw them in. Always have. but you can regap them if you want.. it won't hurt

 

Well im no mustang guru im sure everyone here knows this heh. I just got it as a project and to learn from, but ive never had to replace spark plugs and i dunno if it matters the gap, if its better to have the gap closer. And if so what i should run them at.

And suggestions on what the gap should be? Just seems a light high to me for a non stock motor, but then again im asking you guys b/c you know and i dont so whatever you guys say i a great help. Thanks. - Joe.

 

I ran .049 to .054 when I was n/a worked fine. Once as low as .045 I think with still no issues.

 

Ok so you guys think ill be ok and can just throw them in no issues then?

Thanks for any and all help! - Joe.

 

It's cake. Just gap and put em in hand tight, then a small crank with a wrench. Don't put them in to tight.

 

Ok thanks!

Yeah the only reason why i was wondering about the Gap or maybe Re-gaping them was b/c the old Accel ones were gaped at .035 and these are gaped at .044 and that seemed like quite a difference to me, so what why i was a little worried and wondering.

But you guys say i should have nothing to worry about and just throw them it at the gap they are now at .044? Or Re-gap them, and to what should i re-gap them too?

Sorry just want to make sure i have this clear before i go in there and put them in. Thanks guy for all the help and advice! Really appreciate it! - Joe.

 

just throw them in. I've never had to regap my autolites.

 

i though i saw some of you saying on other threads that you guys run .025-.035? Is that correct?

That's for boost. Bigger gap equals better spark, as long as the ignition system is powerful enough. Your engine is around stock compression, so i'd think 0.044"-0.05" is fine.

 

Always check gap, even if they dont have to be regapped.

 

ok Thanks a lot guys! - Joe.

 

.035 = boost but it should still work

stock is .050

the stock ignition is pretty decent

 

i gap mine at .054

 

well you do have a gaping booty hole

 

it's what makes me unique

 

word

 

how do you check gap?

 

Take your pick
