How long ago was that? I just looked at an Autolight spark plug application book a few days ago, and it showed all their plugs at 0.040" gap in the book. Maybe you got some old stock (?).

If you want to look at Autolite's application catalog on-line, go here and look up your car. I just looked for a 2002 Z06, and they show all their plugs gapped at 0.040".

It was a few weeks ago. Got them and the wires from Rock Auto. I wasn't intending to argue just that is what I got. Like you say, could be old stock.
