.040-.050....somewhere around there maybe. If you dont know, then you just got lucky with the autolites.

I'm running 3922 in my gsr. They work great. They are the plug of choice for mustangs and such. There is nothing wrong with them. You should not be running a platinum anything in it.

Autolites suck!!

Run something a little colder than a 3923.

Remember, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I personally dont like autolites. They function fine,
but for some reason the porcelain likes to crack or come loose on them.
Its not super common, but i've seen it plenty of times over the years.
If your looking for a cheapo plug, the champion coppers are great.
I wouldnt hesitate to use them in place of NGKs. But of course, if you have
the choice then just go NGK. Proven part.

autolites...

I have had porcelins crack on me. If your car starts to misfire, then its prolly a good sign. They suck. Horrible plug IMO.

Champions....

Decent plug for the price. Dont really have any issues with them.


NGKs....

These are by far the best plug I have ever used. I have yet to have an NGK plug foul out, and the car just plain up runs better.


Bosch...

Tend to foul out to fast. Other than that a decent plug.

I run 22psi autolites and change them every oil change because there only $12 for four. I also gap them at .20. never had a problem. Had ngk and they keep misfiring even with them gapped and tuned. I also run stock ignition.
