Default Spark Plug

Guys,

Changed the spark plugs and wires today.

Got the GM perf set...nice!

Anyway, just in case folks don't already know this: The stock plugs are Delco 41-952(Platinum) and the Delco replacement are Delco 41-985(Iridium). Also, the gap on the 985 is .40 not .60 as in the case of the 952.

I checked the gap on the stock ones I pulled and they were all over....60, .65, .70 - glad I changed them!!!

And #7 is a real pain in the ****!!!

You're lucky you're not driving a Chevy Vega. Had to jack engine up 3 inches to get last plug. Similar problem on Trans Am with LS1.
