Sidegapped plugs?

[5.0_GT_kid]

I heard somewhere that you could buy plugs already sidegapped, and I believe they said it was Champion plugs.

Anyone know if this is true? If so, what companies sell them? What part number should we use on our cars?

The one's that come pre-gapped are made by Autolite .... but I'm not sure if anyone else sells them. I don't know the part # off the top of my head .......

I'm with Justin - the AR series (Autolite Racing) should come factory sidegapped. Do DOUBLE check (it's been awhile since I read up on them) but I think the plug numbers are the same, except that the plug will begin with the AR designation and then the normal plug number.

The straps are cut. The tip of the straps on side-gapped plugs ends just over the electrode ..... regular plug's straps keep running past the electrode.
