Default NGK TR6 Spark Plug gap and how?

Well I have everything for my DIY Vortech V1 kit either sitting in my closet or in the mail. I went and bought some NGK tr-6 spark plugs today and I want to go ahead and get them gapped so that they're ready to go when I do the install.

So, what do I need to gap them to and how do I do it? I've never done spark plugs before and I want to make sure I do it right.

Just don't gap them until you are ready to install them.

they should be close to or at .035 anyways but it is a good idea to check.
