I have auto lite 104's

My brother asked me what they were gaped at.
I told him .65-69 which was exactly the same as my previous plugs. He said that he can't remember but they should probably be around .6

Any thought's? I'm not quite sure what they should be at? And If I should change it, why?

Stock gap is .06". That's a pretty crazy gap at .65"-.69" :razz:

Most guys running 104's around here seem to run them at .055" though.

I ran a .054" gap with no troubles. There are some pros to opening up the gap, provided the rest of the ignition system can handle it. But, on these cars, I'd say a .050" - .055" gap is ideal.

Stock gap is .060, so .055 is fine.

Shit... I just realized I never gapped mine... Son of a bitch...

I would imagine .05 or .045 would be good.

Edit:

I'll replace them this summer anyway, so I should be OK.
