Default What to gap plugs at?
I'm wondering what to gap my plugs at. I'm putting in my LTs right now and doing plugs and wires at the same time. The plugs are NGK TR55s, does 0.060 in. sound about right, or is 0.050 correct?
Thanks for the help,
Rob

Damn, well don't I feel like a jackass. This header install was a PITA, big time. I basically had to fab up the whole rear section of my hooker exhuaust because nothing fit anymore. Tomorrow will be the third day, but I only have to install plugs and wires. So I have about 30 min. of work left. I worked friday and today on it, rode my buddies predator for a bit in between and had lunch. So I figure around 11-3 two days in a row. WTF

Thanks for the help guys,
Rob
