Which Sparkplugs for GT40P's?
What spark plugs do I need for my GT40 P heads with and without Nitrous. I am more concerned about without at this point, until spring. I prefer Autolites, just trying to figure out what size. Thank you.

I talked to the guy I bought the new heads from and he works at a place called Victory Engines , and he said that I should ask for 93 Cobra plugs, does this sound right, just making sure.I am sure he knows what he is talking about, just trying to comfirm before I buy.

Hey Shotgun28, I just put new plugs in my Cobra and the receipt said they were Autolite 764 plugs. I don't know how they are with nitrous because I don't run it, but I hope this helps. Beau

Autolite 764, 103, 104's or Motorcraft AWSF32C, 22C, 42C. I've got a little comparison chart on my website under the Tech Tips section.

Jeff,
What should I gap them to? The autolite 764's. Same as stock? Is it the same plugs as a 93 Cobra like Bill Klein said? THanks gang for your help.

Can't help with the NOS gap, but for N/A I'd start out around the stock setting of 0.050-0.054". If you've bumped the compression and have an aftermarket ignition box, then you can start working it down some. I've run mine as low as 0.035" but tend to gap them around 0.045" most of the time.

I just went to Advance Auto and got Autolites for a 98 Explorer 5.0. I have mine gapped at .050. I do have raised comp, but have stock ignition for now, so that is why I gapped them so high.
