Bought new plugs Bosch Super Plus The box has on it .032 is this the specs and is there a degree of difficulty in replacing

 

Straight from the box right into the engine. Nothing to adjust "plug and play"

 

so far I have removed 3 plugs and 1 i dont know how it worked it is a single pole with no end cap the other 2 have 3 poles at least all 8 will be the same when im done

 

the car had 3 different plugs and 1 was broken

 

if you bought the Bosch super copper tips they should be wr7dc and the gap should be .028 in +/- .004
Autozone/bosch part number is 7900

 

yea .028 on my 81.

 

forgot add some anit seize to the threads be fore you install the new ones

 

Bosch WR7DC and good to go straight from the box as Shocki said.

 

Hi

Sorry to disagree but "straight from the box" is NOT a good idea...

I have fitted thousands of plugs (when a race mechanic) and out of every box of 10, there are always variations in gap....

Feeler gauges and a 30 thou gap.....and check EVERY plug.....

I think I'm going to agree with the gap check Brett recommended.

 

Working on my cars since 1992 and have always done it like this. No problems
I drive either Bosch Super 4's or Beru UltraX

 

Ahh i think thats standard operating proccedure, always check the gaps before installing new plugs regardless of the printing on the box. And confirm the correct gap for each engine .
I suggest a bit of anti seize for the plug threads

 

First post here... just picked up a 87 s4. want to replace the plugs. any thoughts on the 4 electrode platnums?

Thx.

 

Hi

When I bought my S2 ...it had Bosch Quads in it....and was running badly....they were fairly new as well...

I took them out and replaced with NGK BP6ES and ran perfectly afterwards...

Personal opinion only ...

All the best Brett

 

Not that the guys at autozone are experts but they said the plugs weren't worth it. For what it's worth.
