 Subject: Factory spark gap?
IP: Logged
Message:
I just installed a set of Autolite 3923's in my Dakota. I was told to use the factory gap. I found this measurement (.040) under my hood with all of the other tech specs. I gapped all of my plugs, then pulled the original ones out. Why are my original plugs all gapped at .055????

Hmmmm, if it were me, I'd be tempted to gap them the same as what the ones were that came out. But I am by far not an authority on the idea. Were all of the ones you took out gapped the same or was it just one that was .055.
Anybody else??

All of my factory plugs were at .055. I have already put the new ones in, and I do not really feel like pulling them back out. Changing plugs on a v8 Dak is not fun. especially on the passenger side.
Anyone know why the engine sits closer to the right fender well than the left? (by 3-4") Must be for weight or torque distribution or maybe there is a TSB out for it!?

To my knowledge its to keep the drive shaft as straight as possible. It has to be over a little because of the gas tank.

The old ones were that big because of erosion/wear and tear. .040 is correct for 97 and up vehicles w/ 5.2/5.9.
