Spark plug gap

[Jonny Cash]

Anyone know the gap settings for a 3.0/3.2 either or??

.046 inches

Thanks!!

Yup. VECI decal (on the radiator cover, most cars, I think yours is missing?) states .042 - .046 for the 3.0. Not sure about your 3.2.

 

[Jonny Cash]

The only thing thats 3.2 is the block, and the injectors. Everything else is 3.0 . So Im running with that.

Ok so whats better? Closer or farther?

 

[MorpheusGPR]

I went ahead and put them at .045 as my gauge had that as the closet to what you posted.

You can always combine a .30 and a .16 to get your .46...

Or a .020 and a .022 since they are right next to each other = .042
That should fit and .022 and .025 = .047 should not fit.

This style spark plug gap tool is better, it will tell you exactly what the gap is.

One site I saw looking for this picture said this kind of gap tool shouldn't be used for fine wire plugs though (the new ford FM plug is fine wire). Luckily I haven't had to deal with those yet.

I had absolutley no problems gapping my plugs on my SVT with that style of tool. They were Finewire.
