Default StS users plug gap

I was just wondering what people are gapping their spark plugs at?

is there any alternative to the ngk plugs?

I seem to have problems with the tips staying on "no matter

how hard im cranking on them. I even tried loctite"

Try some Autolite AR472 plugs gapped .025" - .032"
They don't have resistors or screw-on tips.

NGK TR6 are great blower plugs. I have no experience with the ar472 so I cant comment on those. Nice close gap is good. .028-.035
