Default Z06 spark plug question

Putting in new set of plugs while dealership is doing ring job on my 2001 Z06 (cringe!).

I couldn't find any part number or gapping information in my shop manual. I know the dealership should be able to look this up, but they screwed up my alignment so I learned to double check.

Thanks, and where exactly does one find this information?

Terrific how-to on changing spark plugs is on Kewlbrz's web site. It covers all the specs including gap and torque specs. Here is a link.

It might even encourage you to change your own plugs. :)

Thanks for the info, I normally do all my own work (pads, rotors, fluid changes) but I figured since it was at the dealership already and the heads were off, I might as well swing by with a new set of plugs and swap em out.

This will probably be the quickest spark plug change ever! Not too hard when its out of the car and laying on a shelf.

That ought to make it easy to change even that pesky #7 plug.
