Typically plugs are replaced because the gap widens due to wear of the electrode. Wider gaps are better for fuel ignition if the rest of the system puts out enough voltage to jump the gap. (Some newer systems have stock gaps .045" to .055"). If you don't like changing the plugs often go with the .033 which leaves some wear room. If you want a larger gap, upgrade the coil and plug wires. | ||
