I think it is the same as the cobra, .55. I have mine gapped at .50. I hope you got some NGK spark plugs.

I picked up some Autolite Platinums. Thanks for the help. I wonder who's bright idea it was to put a plug right under the FPR?

That was a pretty painless job. Once I got a swivel the #3 and #4 were pretty easy. I'm pretty sure the ones in there were original. The platinum on the plugs was actually wore off. The car drives so much better now. Can't wait to change the fuel filter and throw on the new mufflers.

Just buggin everyone about the .55, it's .055 [.55 is would be about a 1/2 inch gap ] Oh well, I guess it wasn't that funny

When I dig the Stang out next spring I'm going to give the .040 a try.Good to know, Thanks
