I just bought a new set of spark plugs and am waiting to install them. Can i simply install them out of the box, or do i need to gap them? And, without having to go all the way to the parts store, is there another way to get the correct gap?

 

You must gap them, or they will all be off and different. And yes, you need to go to the store and get a 99 cent gapper.Sorry if thats not what you wanted to hear, but thats the way it is

You got enough tools to do the plugs? Do a search, there are MANY helps and tips on how to do plugs without wanting to kill yourself.

Good luck and ask away if you got any questions.

 

Always check the gap on new plugs, regardless if they say they are pregapped or not.
