I've never found a need to change the gap much away from 035. That seems to work pretty good, makes starting the car a little easier as well when it's cold IMO. Tighten the gap up, only thing I ever noticed was the car starting harder. Never seemed to effect the run, plugs didn't really look any different after a run.

Agree, .035 is good - check them though - seen them vary out of the box...

I always check 'em. Such a simple thing to do, why wouldn't anyone? But I guess people do crazier stuff.

Anywhere from 32-35 will be an ok gap to have.
