What should I gap my spark plugs to? (SOHC)

[Steeda90GT]

So I'm finally deciding to do my plugs. What's the factory gap spec? Any recommendation on setting a better gap (for mpg??)

If I recall it calls for between .055-.057 or .054-.057. I usually just try to get it in the middle about .056.

It says in the manual towards the back.

Edit: Actually those values I gave you is for the OHV engines. The SOHC may be different.

I would also change your wires.

Stock is 0.054".

Since I run a Screamin' Deamon coilpack ( http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1535138#post1535138 ). I have opened the gap to 0.065".
