What is the normal range for 3.2L with 87k (cylinder compression) and the range for S/P gap .42-.46 I would think .44 would be a good range, please share your thoughts. Mike

Compression should be 190-220.

Spark plug gap can be anywhere between .042 and .046. I would err to the smaller side because they tend to open up over time.

what Chris said...

also, the closer the gap, the hotter the spark.

cylinder compression can be low (150/160) or high (230/240) as long as adjacent cylinders are within +/- 15% of each other.
