Cool Re: Spark Plug Guide

The side electode is what gets moved or bent. My Champion double platinum plugs had a small pin sticking out of the center electrode which in different plugs there is no pin and you would use the flat guage wire to gap it. I was told not to do it that way and I got a more diverse gauge with a little thick blade with a notch in it to bend the side electrode and use the c shaped wire on the side of the gauge for the gapping distance. Worked like a charm.
Soonercruiser nothing has changed but that little pin sticking out of the plug that confused me and that sure is simple these days.
