you should buy a Haynes manual, lots of stuff like that in there...i cant remember off the top of my heead though, and i have no clue where i put my haynes manual :rant:

go with NGK TR55 they are pregapped to 55 I like 'em, but get a chilton manual anyway. They can save your ass.

yeah im pretty sure the haynes manual says .052-.054. i got one and read it in there one time but cant remember. almost positive thats it though

I would get Motorcraft platinum spark plugs.
They will last longer and they don't have to be gapped
if your get platinums.I always ran Motorcraft spark
plugs in my mustang.

i have a haynes manual, but didnt see anything telling what gap size to use. ill look again.

My mechanic reccomended autolite copper for my mustang, thats why i was going to get those.

I ran .052 NA, i'll be running .035 with the boost.

If all fails, resort to the catalyst sticker under your hood. That has alot of good info including spark plug gap for your engine. O0

Alot of people I knew ran .052-.054 gap in their mustangs N/A
and had successful results.
