Hey I got a set of Bosch double platinums for my 740T and I was wondering the best way to gap them (since theres two electrodes). Should I gap both to factory specs or what?

Eh, the package says not to gap them... anyone used these before?

Sometimes they come gapped to factory specs.

I would stay close to factory specs. You can open them a hair more and see how it runs.

I agree with tech I gapped my 740T Autolite doubles to factory specs they work great
Now I have never used the same plug your useing but I generally Have bad luck with bosch plugs and wires I stay away from them as much as possible. I had bought two different sets of Bosch plugs for my 740T I gapped the plugs right and everything but with those bosch plugs I would get a miss at higher RPMs so I switched to AUTOLITE and never had another problem with a miss again :thumbsup:
