Dont laugh, not mechanically inclined here, but do I want the gap set at anything different than factory recommendation (owners manual) for the 3.7L?

Hey ozone,
I saw your post earlier and forgot to respond. You want to gap them to .042" per:

This is found on page 3 and page 10 on this thread:

Very interesting read and it discusses some useful information, expecially on how autolite rates their plugs and their input on the 3923 plug for our engines.
