what spark plug gap to set?
like the title says i have ngk g-power plugs. but the kicker is i am also installing a msd opti(lt1- hopefully opti is a givaway), plug wires and blaster coil... so i am lost as far as setting the gap?
also side note i am replacing the valve cover gaskets oil pan gasket and water pump. also i am useing the old rod and slege hammer method of takeing of the crank pulley. so if any body knows any tricks to the trade to make any of that eaiser feel free to comment thanks again

Spark plug gap from 92 FSM- 1.27mm/0.035"
Before removing the front pulley, mark the location so you can put it back the same way. The pulley incorporates the harmonic balancer, and there are two wrong ways as well as the right way to put it back on.

Wrong!! The pulley/dampner will only go back on one way, the ears of the hub are slightly assymetrical.

Then sand the rust off and put anti seize on the hub before reinstall.

I stand corrected- what I meant to say was, while the pulley can only be installed one way, you're better off to mark it so you aren't trying to line up the bolts in the wrong holes by putting it in the wrong position. Anyway, I marked mine when I took it off.

Don't forget the anti-seize compound for the new plugs. Did your old wire looms and holders break as you went to remove them? You can order new ones from Mid-America Motorworks (MAM).
