I have 3923 in my 4.7, and it runs just fine. With that said, I will go with the RC12MCC4 plug the next time I change them. When I installed the 3923 in my truck I was mistakenly informed that that was the right plug for my truck.

I do have a compressor, and have always blown it out before plug removal on my vehicles.
As for the challenge... there are two hard pipes crossing the middle. I suppose it's just a matter of removing the bolts keeping them in place, right? Call them hoses, I guess.
Thanks for the input, you guys!

Even a wide gap will still work just not the greatest and usually your gas mileage is horrible
I was helping a neighbor replace his plugs in his PT cruiser and the plugs looked like the originally 2000 plugs the gap was monumental and unbelievable it was sparking at all boy was he embarrassed
It was bizzare that he could drive the thing with that wide a gap
With my 2.5 engine I have tried the original Bosch platinum’s Bosch copper core and Bosch iridium’s as well as the champion recommended plugs and would say I liked the original Bosch platinum’s and the Bosch iridium’s the best the champions were good my favorite were the original Bosch platinum’s they just don’t last too long is all and no longer available.
At this time I’m using the Bosch iridium’s with great results along with an Accel Hot coil and the gap at .042

Got he champion and was surprised at the low $1.99 each.
yeah, the A/C lines are what I was referring to.
I will gap to stock .035. truck runs great, why change a thing?
Thanks again!

I think you are correct Dan .040
my 2.5 is a stock gap of .035
What is wild is my engine being a 2.5 Jeep/AMC engine all the jeepers use the same Hot coil and a gap of .060 but this usualy cause the coil to get very hot and many a jeeper have had there coil explode on them
