Default TR6's gapped at .060"

What happens when you do this? When I did my header install I forgot to look up the gapping so I just put them to the stock gap, should I redo it? The car runs perfectly fine.

If I remember correctly the TR6's come gapped at .035 out of the box. Did you adjust them to .060 or just install them and are assuming they are at .060?

If you going to spray that 100 shot, I would pull them and check that the gap is at .035

A few minutes work is worth the peace of mind.

Ha, you're right. I forget how little room there is in there. On my Tahoe I can change plugs in 20 minutes

Well, even your GTO isn't that bad. My dad has one and the motor sits in there nicely. GM really messed with us F-body guys.
