Need part # clarification for SOHC spark plugs...Please!

[jsun]

I have a feeling that Ford has given me the wrong spark plugs for my 99 SOHC.

The part # of the plugs they gave me and that I already installed are:

AGSF22FM F6
Stock number 6100?

Can anyone here please clarify if these are O.K. to use in my SOHC engine.

The reason I ask is that I refered back to the owners manual after I installed them and the part # is different... Also, I am now experiencing light backfire after heavy throtle in park. I also get a little suge at idle at red lights now.

Please help me clarify...It's my B-day!

Thanks!

Oh, I used electrical contact grease in the boots. May I have added to much? I applied about just enough to cover the ID of the boot hole at the very end.

OK I answered my own question. The answer is yes for both ohv & sohc.

I used a .051 gap and the info I found for these plugs mention .054.

Will .051 of a gap be sufficient?

It was my compromize for .048 that others had suggested and .052-.054 on the engine tag.

Thanks!

happy birthday!

and .03 of a misgap wont hurt anything...... how are your plug wires? they may be damaged, and if they are, could easily be the source of misfiring.....

Thank you jimabena!

The funny thing is that I was so proud of myself for how well and quick I changed out the spark plugs, and thought to myself... I never swore once! Well that was until my very last plug (#2). I ripped the boot off
Well then I swore...lol. I repaired that wire, and still had this engine miss, so I replaced that today with a single wire from the dealer (yes, they sell singles)thinking this will fix it. Problem is still there.

I may have torn another one, just that it's not as obvious. I can't find my DVM for the life of me...

I was going to buy a set of taylors, but they would of had to be ordered, and I need a quick fix.

Have a great day!
