Default What Gap for Plugs?

Im gonna get new plugs and wires soon and the best I could tell from reading old post through the search was to go with NGK TR55's and get either Taylor or MSD Wires. I was wondering what they come gapped to and what I may need to gap them to and also any recommendations on which wires are the better of the two?

Your "plaugs" should be pre gapped at 55 but I would check them to make sure. I would also check your spelling. That is the best gap for NGK on a NA motor. The wires are about the same. I use 10.5mm taylors but some people swear by the msd wires.

I left my TR55s gapped like they came outta the box. I verified that they were all the same, but I didn't change the gap on them. They were all .055 I believe.
