Hi guys,
For whatever reason, I cant find the definitive answer to this simple question. Sad to say, I don't have a manual for this car yet.

thanks, Opossum

Understand of course that if you use the original equipment Bosch sparkplugs for your car, they will come out of the box correctly gapped.

It's a German thing.

Often a big surprise to those most familiar with American cars.

I still would verify that the gap is correct because I have found pre-gapped Bosch plugs that are missing the center electrode, sealing washers, etc.

Thanks for that bit Kent.. However, I got the bosch supers and had to open them up just a bit. Also, what a coincidence.. I am in ABQ too!
