50 thousandths. Or is it .05? Its one of the 2. By the way, you cant gap the bosch plugs you have. Once the electrodes are bent or moved they are done for. they will never work the same. Take the time and get some autolite platinums.

Gap is 1.3mm, .050 is 1.27, close enough.

What a difference with the autolite double plat. The old were plat pros and my car is so more responsive just by sitting there and reving it. Wow

You can gap the stock plugs. I did when i got the coil and wires, and it works fine

There's a sticker on your hood that tells you what the appropriate gap is.
