I've always lrft the washer on the plug, makes sense to seal against the indexing washer. Joe

what is the widest gap some run on their plugs and what benefit have you seen?

Randy, wide spark plug gaps went out with ignition points. With todays MSD's and most other manufacters electronics, there is no reason to run more than .025 gap. As a matter of fact, if your trying to run, say .040 - .050, close the gap down to .020 - .025, and you'll see a performance gain. At least that been my experience.

on AR3933 plugs leave the gap alone --run em as they come from the factory just check to make sure that the gap did not close up ratteling around in the boxes---Comp 387
