well... really .045" is just a good starting point in my opinion. Every motor is different in minor ways and all take a different liking. play with the gap. I know i dropped mine in with a .035" gap I noticed a nice improvement over the agsf 34ee plugs that only had 20k miles on them

4.2 guru huh? How about a little easy test. Lets say I have a 98 e-150 85K with a 4.2 with a miss on one cyl at cruising speeds. No miss at idle or full power. It has new plugs and wires. CEL is on with a code P0304. What is the most likely cause and how would you go about troubleshooting it?
