I'm running autolite XP 103 Iridium gapped to .060 and have no problems. the reason i gapped it larger is to see if it made any difference. And lo and behold. I didn't notice any difference at all.

You can try to fix it with a trusty BFH or replace said wife.

I find that surprising. I would have bet that the lower heat created would have been noticeable even for 'seat of the pants' driving. Love you quote btw!

Thanks.

Nope no difference at all...and i actually went from autolite 104s to these plugs.

The only difference i noticed was that high rpms i'm getting a lack of power. but thats unrelated because it started before i changed the plugs. I think it's a combination of the 2010 calibration and 75k on the original catalytic converter

yeah it's not about gaps anymore. it's about what plug is better.

Yeah I know, this ends up being the 10,000,000,000,000,000,008 thread about spark plugs I've seen on here. So many opinions get posted up but they are opinions, and opinions are like as_holes as everyone has one.
