    I've been searching the archives for a proper gap on NGK plugs, but they seem mostly related to carb 308s. I have a stock 1982 2V 308. My plugs are NGK #BP6ES. The gap out of the box is .035. Seems too much any recommendations?

    Thanks

    .026 is the proper gap...Patrick

    I agree: 0.35 is the Porsche gap.

    UK injected cars should have an "EV" or "EVX" plug....don't know about US though.

    Plug gap 0.6mm or 26 though

    Brent -- Are you saying that NO specification for spark plug gap is given in your year/model/version OM?

    Brent -- the OM for your model/year/version is available on-line at the Owners Site.
