Plug Gap

Just put Bosh Plats in a month ago and my owners manual says .45". Looking through my Chiltons Maunual the other day and it says to gap them at .35". Why the diff. This is for an 88 GTA 5.7. By the way, should I have stayed with ACs. The Bosh seemed to work fine in the 86LG4, however they dont seem to preform as well in the TPI.

The Bosch plugs suck for GM HEI. Get a decent set of AC Delcos and gap them at .45 if you have an aftermarket coil or .35 if its stock.
Rapidfires are the best. They are pregapped and they are trhe best plugs I've ever used.
Part #2 for the rapidfires.
