SPARK PLUGS AND GAPS ??????? FOR COSWORTH
just wondering if you have to gap a spark plug before you fit them to your cossie i thought when they are new you could fit them straight in just out the box and straight in is this true
by the way the ones im on about are the genuine ford ones AGPS071C if you have to gap them then what are the measurements ??
thanks
