Ok I just got new NGK iridium Spark Plugs, Nology Hottwires spark plug wires, and MSD Modified ditributor cap. Does anyone know what I should gap my spark plugs at?

So for pregapped spark plugs, you just screw them in and hook the wire back up? Or do they need torqued still?

You should never torque a spark plug. Juss tighten it with ur wrench until u feel some tension. you don't want them things to break.

torque doesent mean you have to crank down on it.. every screw on the car has a specific torque value.. i think you meant not to just tighten it till you cant spin it no more.

its always to double check the gap on a sparkplug. all it takes is for someone to drop the shipping box one time and they are all out of specs. at worst case you will have the peace of mind knowing they are right.
