Default HTO..gapping

Hello,

Can someone tell me what is the best way to gap an HTO sparkplug. I have no idea of how to do this.

You have to get a speciel gapping tool for our plugs. Snap on dealers should have them or the Ford dealer. Get a wire gauge to check it. They run around $25 shipped.

I went to a ford dealer and showed them the plug, the service guy asked if it was for a honda. I asked if he was kidding, he wasn't, I then left. Personally, if I'd had a wrench at the time I would have hit him with it! By the way it was a Roush dealer and they sold performance parts. I'll be calling Goodies Speed shop and in San Jose in the morning to see if they have the gapping tool. I'll also check with Snap on.
