If nobody else knows, you probably can't go wrong with .035

believe me,,, Im NO mechanic.. but I thought  .080 was it due to hotter firing coilpacks. ??

  I was thinking around .035-.045 myself,gapped ever plug out of the box and their all at .060 so.....hmmmm! have to see if my stickers still on the upper tie bar for the gap.

What were the old plugs gapped at?  RODNEY,  if i measure that i would gap them at around .0100-.0120 they are so fried i don't even know how the car even runs as well as it doe's.  i checked the sticker on the tie bar at lunch and it says .060, i guess thats why they were all almost there right out of the box.  bought this for my dailey driver a couple months ago and starting to look things over now that its not below zero here in st paul anymore.  did a complete intake gasket change over the weekend also.what a pain in the butt.

All the replacement plugs I saw come with this gap

It sounds like you might have the original plugs in the engine. I wonder what they would be worth on E-Bay?
