In changing the sparkplugs.....

Do we use the gaskets or not?

The gaskets are part of the plug.

Okay,

Do we use the washer thing that is attached to the sparkplug or not?

Thanks,

The problem is that I do not remember if my stocker came with that little ring or not. I have changed the plugs about a billion times but I cannot remember if they had that thing or not.

Any expertise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Use the gasket, it was there on your stock plugs.

Thanks Chip. BTW, I installed AC Delco Rapidfire 5 last night gapped at .028 and it runs like a champ for the first time in a long time. It looks like I had the others(NGK 3330 and Autolite) gapped to small. My gapping tool was not too accurate. I bought some feelers and was able to gap much more accurately.

Thanks for you help.

If you don't use the gaskets, how are going to tighten the plugs , the gasket is what gives and the plug get tight. Otherwise the threads of the head get stripped and you are in Deep $hit . And when it happens oh man, I tell you, it's no fun. Think about a tune up job worth about $4k, and USE the gaskets:hammer:
