if you use the Bosch +4 plugs they are pregapped. but the gap information should be in two places. under the bonnet and in the RAVE.

The gap for a DII should be 0.038 - 0.042 as per the rave.

Mine are Lucas, so most likely they are originals.

Classklown90 - that's an example of a hijacked thread.

As I said ealier, I used autolites (.034" gapped - rave cd says .035--.040") I always gap new plugs close.
I use autozone silicone wires $50

They've been in my truck for 5yrs. so far, it runs great.

download the rave cd below

luck,greg

Shoot, I can't remember to take out the garbage! LOL

I'm sure I bought those @ autozone.

As I said, the wires were around $50, the cheap ones won't be silicone, so they're susceptable to heat and it gets hot under our hoods.

The better wires will also have di-electric grease in the boots to combat corrosion.

I'm cheap, so they couldn't have been too bad.

I'm selective about brand name usually, if the part sees abuse, (brakes, ujoints,belts, etc.), I generally buy the good stuff, it lasts longer.

luck,greg

ALWAYS check the gap before installation (I am sure Hilltopper would agree). Even pre-gapped plugs can get bumped or dropped so you never really know.

p.s. I love seeing "bonnet" instead of hood.
