I took my plugs out of my car and they were gaped at.75 and the Oreillys computer said.60 gap these plugs I bought were pre-gaped at.75 already. I looked in my car manual and couldn't find any spark plug gap settings. So is.75 the right setting?

Here are the specs for the plugs,

Spark Plug AC Type 41-921

Gap 1.52 mm (0.060 in)

15 Nm (11 lb-ft)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken

Splitfires are a sexy glamorous spark plug that is junk.
I don't think they are gap adjustable either.

The gap is.060

Pick up a set of delco or autolite (605) plugs
