I just bought a 94 gt completly stock and went a little crazy in jegs. I got a msd street fighter coil and accel 8mm wires. Do i need to gap the plugs a little bigger. I also bought accell v power header plugs. Need to know asap if possible almost have the headers on. The next thing is i got jegs 3.73 gears. I got royal puple gear oil went to local dealer and got friction modifier. The chiltons and the hayes manual neither say how to change the gears. If any body could help withsome step by step directions i would greatly appersate it.

Not much of a need for that simple ignition stuff.Stock stuff is plenty good enough.No reason to gap your plugs wider/larger.

Gap at .054". If you're doing the gears you may as well re-do the clutch packs while everything is in pieces. It's not a job to take lightly, good luck with the install.

If your going to attempt your own swap I would make sure you have Ford gears. Others may have dimensional differences that are going to make the set-up more complicated...
With Ford gears odds are you'll do ok if you have the tools and some wrenching ability.
