    Spark plug gap

    The owners manual with my 69 E states that the plug gap is .014, that seems tight. What is the correct plug gap? Thanks

    Thanks, I thought the gap should be in the .025 to .028 (.7mm) range. I wonder if anybody has noticed the misprint in the owners manual.

    The manual gap is based on the use of the original bosch platinum plugs which were w265 P21. The gap you reference is good for a standard copper plug like a NGK BP7ES.
