Livewires plug gap claim?

[96SVTpilot]

A quick code scan at Schucks revealed I have had 3 cylinders misfiring at one point or another. I was going to hold off on the tuneup until 50K miles but it looks like the Cobra needs plugs and wires NOW. I have the plugs already and Livewires coil packs and plug wires on order. I am a little skeptical of their .065 plug gap claim using their coil packs so I'll probably start off with the stock gap and go from there. Has anyone else used their stuff and what did you think? I'll be expecting a SOTP improvement for the $$, so hopefully they won't disappoint. I'll post results if anyone cares to hear them.

thanks

I dunno man, I have been doing a lot of reading on the Cobras and .065 sounds awful wide even for n/a...

I got a set of livewires and screamin demon coil packs.. I took out the autolite platinums today and they were gapped at like .065, car ran ok, but I went back to the .040 gap autolite standards today since i don't think I need a gap that big anyways.

Well I started the install tonight, with only 1 minor snag. The livewires #5 plug wire's plug clamp is a little too shallow, not allowing it to sit flush with the cam cover without pressure on it. I don't think this will be a problem once the plastic cover is bolted back on, but we'll see. I think I'll try a .055 gap with the new plugs to start.

Did you twist the plug while pushing down, they should all snap in, unless the connector is actually bent apart.
