    Need quick spark plug help!!!!

    My new plugs came in today, the NGK BKR6E 6962 and I think they were pregapped, but I'm not positive and my spark plug gapper only has .030 and .034 gapping. I know they need to be gapped at .032 so I'm in a bit of a pickle

    Why not run to your local auto parts store and pick up a spark plug gap tool?

    well they all have the EXACT same resistance when sizing them with the .030 and the .034 so I'm going to assume they are all gapped correctly and just install them. My car is in nots of pieces right now and I have no way of getting to a auto parts store to pick up the right part.

    I assumed my pregapped NGK's where fine... Until I was misfiring all over the place, and had to pull/regap them all over again. Live and learn.

    I just went to autozone and purchased that stupid $.99 circular gapper thing. Its a piece of shit but I gapped everything properly and my car runs perfect.

    I just buy 3 prong plugs. No gapping involved.

    I'm just saying they were all gapped the same and they were all gapped smaller than .034 and larger than .030. If my car starts missing I'll check the gap again. I have the right tool at my house but I'm at my dads place and he lives over 30 miles away from me...

    if only there was an extra car lying around that I could use while mine is in pieces

    Dude, just put the plugs in. You want a torque spec for the plugs and the coil pack bolts too?

    Trust me, it'll be fine.
