Spark plug gap???

Hey guys,

I got some new plugs today, but don't have my service manual yet. Can anyone tell me the correct gap to make them?

-Thanks

I'm pretty sure the gap is already set out of the box. But you can check them, the gap is 0.39-0.43in

I like metric better. So 1mm - 1.1mm.

No prob; my tool had metric one side and standard on the other. They were about .040 out of the box so I just left them. My old ones looked alright, but the car is runnin smoother now!
