Gapping Spark Plug


Answers

What is the correct spark plug gapping for a 93 Honda civic 1.5? Are the ngk uridium pregapped?

I already changed the 1st 2 plugs before I thought about gapping.


the proper gap for a 1.5 L engine is .044. Iridium plug # zfr5fix11 are pre-gapped from the factory. part # 2477 is an easier # to remember. both are on the spark plug box. i used to work at advance auto.

1990 YZ125 spark plug gapping specification?

I'm wondering if the NGK spark plug for my YZ125 ( (B9EG)--> NGK num. ) will come pre-gapped, or if I need to gap it.

If so, what gapping do I need?

Thanks alot,


The NGK plug should come properly pre-gapped ... but I usually check mine anyway. Yours should be .024 inch gap.

What is the spark plug gap for a 1978 chevy chevelle?

I have a 1979 Nordic Jet boat with a 454 chevy engine. I want to know the spark plug gap and timing.


Does it have HEI ignition? Try .045 with that, .035 with standard points. I would set the timing to around 35-37 degrees "total" timing, any vacuum lines to distributor off, engine around 2500-3000 rpm, while timing it. I have a '90 jet boat with a 454 in it also, B&M forced induction supercharger, 850 dp holley, MSD crank trigger ignition, had nitrous, but removed it. Good luck.

Did you at least get a base tune from VMP/TrickTuners?
