Hey all,
I bought some Autolite Platinum plugs for a change. According to the website, the are pre-gapped to the .054 spacing required. When I pulled them out of the boxes, they were all over the place. Now the last time I changed the plugs, I re-gapped them to the .054 that is required, replaced with wires, and it ran like crap!! I went back to the auto-parts place and they said it was because I re-gapped them. So, I bought 6 more plugs, and installed them out of box verifying they were all gapped the same. (I took an avg and gapped them to that) The car ran fine after that. So my questions is, Do I gap them to .054 or do I take the avg (about .045) gap them to that setting, and install them?? I've heard both ways.........
Let me know what you guys think?!!?
