My car had MSD wires and they sucked. One developed a pin hole causing a mis fire. Also the autolight super platinum plugs were rubbish too. I bought the gm performance wires and ac delco iridiums, car runs smooth and idles smooth, fixed both problems i had.

Would have been just as well off to leave them at.040. Hard to say if you damaged the plug,,would depend a lot on how you "adjusted" them. if you pried them apart,,you probably shortened their life span. They will still function for a period of time even if you did. You have to stay away from the center electrode and the end of the ground strap to avoid damage. .040 works VERY well!! Time will tell . If it's running,,no reason to worry right now. IMO they will last like the old fashioned plugs unless you REALLY banged them up!!
Thanks again for any help.

The owners manual on my '98 says .060 gap but, that was for the old OEM plugs. The new Iridiums are pregapped at .040 and shouldn't be changed.
