Gapping autolite 104's

I have just purchased some autolite 104's for my 01 GTP and I am just wondering what I should gap them at. I have searched this online with people saying they have gapped them at .050 .052 .054 and .056. with some people experiencing misses and slight tremors on idle.
Anyone have any advice for a proper/best gap for 104's??
Thanks!
 


biggest gap you can run with out blowout or knock....try .060 then if it blowsout or studders take em out and try .055
 
Just a fender wall intake and 3.5 pulley.
Another question: I'm looking at 8.5mm MSD and 10.3mm ZZP ignition wires, what are your thoughts on these?
 
wires would be pointless at this point... u dont even have a Ubend delete?

I am gathering parts to be installed once the weather gets warmer. So when i DO get exhaust work which wires would you guys suggest?? (MSD 8.5 ZZP 10.3)
 
dont really need wires until u get further down the road with mods.... im assuming u didnt se the links posted?
 
Actually I have seen the link posted.
Looks like #1 on the list of typical maintenance is upgrading plugs (got that) and #2 is upgrading wires (hence my questions to you guys).... so what is this "further road" you are referings to?

Click to expand...

bigger wires arent needed for minimal mods other than looks... with the mods u have stated stock wires will be fine. steps 1-10 in that thread is a complte tune up... which should be done before any modding.
 
Yeah off ZZP's website you can spend I believe $30 on OEM wires instead of like $100 on aftermarket and they will work just fine for you.
 
bigger wires dont do anything but look good and wear less when you take them on and off a lot. if you are just doing spark plugs changes every so often like a normal person then just get delco wires at your local auto parts store.
 
ac delco. best for the buck. no use in bigger unless u got money to spend, and if u do, send me some.
