2.4 spark plug question

I bought some autolite iridiums for my turbo 2.4 a little over a month ago and im not sure what to gap them at or even if theyre gappable. i dont see anything on the box or anywhere that says wut to do.

It's not gapable. Only copper's are gapable. Autolites suck FYI.

i bought the ones zzp uses in their turbo kits. apparently they dont suck. and i know plenty of other people that use autolites. if they cant be gapped thats cool. ill just install them. when i was trying to find the correct njk no one would point me in the right direction and every store/shop in town was out and couldnt get them. retarded.

They can be gapped you just have to be careful.

How much boost is the car running?

Close the gap (smaller)

.032 should do fine.

hey man run like lsj said like .036 or 035 .. i ran .035 on the 3.2 then gapped down to 032 when i put the 2.95 on just to be safe.. i haven't had any blowout yet..

the higher the boost goes the smaller the gap should be.. and you can buy a gap measurer for like 99 cents at any auto store...

you can gap them.. you just gotta to it carefully and slowly
