Also, remember to use some dielectric grease on the plug boots or the heat can cause them to seize up inside the plug tube and break apart. It happened to me and took a couple of hours to get the broken boot out! So, it is a little effort now or a bunch later.

That's what I use. You can get one at Sears. I gap my spark plugs at 1.1mm.
