Plug change - 2001 GT

I got 764 Platinums and gapped them to .54. Just add a P to the part #. On the box, it says to gap them. I fell in love with them just for the clarity alone!

Anyway, I've got three in so far and thanks again for the help.

The grounds on these are standard and bend easily so I feel comfortable doing it.

Damn these deep holes though!

Just FYI - I got the Autolite Platinums in and after replacing a bad coil on #4, it runs very smooth.

Thanks again

Good to hear!! She's going to be so proud of you

Haha yeah she was so glad her car was fixed. It developed a stutter and I sent her to Auto Zone when the engine light came on. Luckily, it gave a Cyl #4 misfire so we got plugs figuring that was it, but when it still stuttered after the plugs, I was beginning to worry as these things can be extremely aggravating, you know... and taking it to the dealer was a bad thought. Anyway, after the coil replacement it's back in action and I learned a bit about Stangs in the process.

hmm. I guess I must be wierd but I would want the correct gap platinum, copper, tinfoil, what ever they are made out of.

It would give me pause to run .065 gap. maybe they run just fine at that. never ran that much gap before.

Word, bro. And .065 would be great if you're sure your spark is able to jump that size gap...otherwise you risk misfires.
And then there's the whole issue of sidegapping...!

NGK TR5's gapped at .045 is what I run and it is SWEET !!!

Less chance of a missfire with 93 Octane fuel.

Copper is the only WAY to go, just change them yearly.

Best Plats are Motorcraft, FACT !

Why do you run such a smaller gap? Is that just a Cobra difference or is this on a GT?

You have so many cars in your sig... you can't possibly give one all the attention it needs

Kewl... I needed to know this. Just bought some autolites...

TR 5's in the 02 vert and cobra. Autolites in the 97 GT

Why run such a big gap??

I had multiple missfires with the plats at stock gaps.

I also drive like I stole them.............

In racing the tune is the edge and plugs are cheap
