Plug Gap

Hi Everyone,
Verybasic question, and I tried to search but couldn't find what I'm looking for. What should the plug gap be in an 88 2.9L?
Thanks.

I think it's .044 inch, but don't quote me on that. Any manual should have that information. If print manuals are too passe for you, the vehicle repair guides at www.autozone.com are an electronic equivalent of a Chiltons manual.
Most parts stores will have that information in their computer, and can tell you the gap when you buy the plugs (if you trust their computer).
There should be a sticker under the hood with the gap on it, too, but stickers don't last forever. I

Yes .44 is the proper gap. Same year/engine here

Thanks Mr. Shorty.
I saw the 0.44 on the autozone computer when I was buying the plugs but, as you indicated, I didn't trust it.
