Do you need a larger gap for a Mustang spark plug?
Do you need a larger gap for a Mustang spark plug?
A larger gap is more efficient as it provides a larger spark for a Naturally Aspirated Mustang. When adding a Power adder like a Supercharger or Turbocharger, you want a smaller gap.
What kind of spark plugs do Fox Mustangs use?
Fox V8 Mustangs were equipped with ASF or AWSF spark plugs. From 1982 to 1985, the High Output (H.O.) version of the 5.0L used one heat range colder.
What kind of engine does a Ford Mustang have?
75mm TB will suffice for pretty much any 5.0L engine. Bigger is not much use. Throughout the production run of the Foxbody Mustangs (1979-1993), Ford implemented 4 different transmissions – 3 automatics and 1 manual.
What was the output of a Ford Mustang in 1987?
**Output ratings from 1987-1993 had slight variations due to slight changes over the years. Ford did not change their rating for these year to year ratings. Above is actual output. 205hp is the most realistic and closest to actual output. 1979-1993 5.0L V8 Foxbody Mustang Pistons

Why do I need to reduce the spark plug gap?
The Spark Plug Gap has to be reduced so the increased turbulence and pressure in the combustion chamber can ignite quicker and more intensely. When the Spark Plug Gap remains larger under a boosted application, a Misfire can result due to the spark being blown out
