RE: How do you gap spark plugs?
Never trust pegapped plugs, ups guy drops the box on its end and the gaps are all messed up. check them, same reason I allways open an oil filter box in the store to look at the end. You gotta look out for yourself.

the pre-gapped plugs are never right! i always double check them and always find myself making adjustments. it only takes two seconds to check a spark plug and another two seconds to gap it. time well spent!

But the Motorcraft SP462 has a closed end, and the circular gap checker like the one above won't get in there.

I see what you mean. For a plug like this you can only decrease the gap with a special tool like the one pictured below. I don't know how you would increase the gap if you needed to...
