So I ginally got some time to do a little work on Debby the DA. Last week when I removed the sparkplugs I noticed the porcelen on one of the plugs was cracked, so naturally I bought 4 new NGK plugs for the 90 Gs as they were the original plugs, so says the autozone dude.Anywho I saw the spark plug gapping and measurement tool so I asked what was the recommendted gap for my car, the clerk said .44 so I took a new plug out and measured it and I got what looks like .40. I have pics ill try and post. I adjusted them to what I think is .44, I also applied he anti seizing lubricant on them so they dont get stuck, made sure not to drop the plugs in and tightened them hand tight. I dont have a torque wrench yet.. Does that sound right to you guys? Can I ask other questions not related to the OP, or do I need a new thread? Just trying to follw the rules.. pics should be comming.... Dunno how to just post the pucs here, pics in garage...

The first pic is where I ended up after trying to get .44, the second photo is what the gapping is like out of the box. The old plugs I pulled out of the car were all at .40 like the new plugs out of the box. Havent cranked it yet as I had to remove a hose that went from the intake into the brake booster and I dont know if i should start the engine without that hose. I removed it to replace it with a new hose ill buy later today. Q, when I removed the hose there was a release of air pressure comming from the brake booster, is that normal?

If I can chime in about the torque wrench for spark plugs, you dont really need one all you have to do is tighten it until u feel a little collapse. That would be the crush ring on the plugs

Spark plug gap for your car is on a lable on the underside of your hood. 94

Thanks for the tips guys. Well I started her up and she seems to like the new plugs. I had a weird sputter at low rpms in gear before and it seems to have disapeared. Hopefully it holds up as it disapeared the first time I cleaned the fitv but came back an hour into driving her around. I also noticed that the line going from the intake manifold to the brake booster had a crack in it so I replaced that too. Im guessing that would cause a vacuum leak? Anywho so far so good.. Here she is..
