    How do you adjust a spark plug ?

    My brothers cossie is misfiring, as the plugs are at 0.75mm
    it should be at 0.65 mm or summat ? (3dr cossie, 330 conversion)
    Plugs are AGPR 701.
    I have measuring plates, but how do you adjust the plug ? Do you just knock it against the wall ???

    i prefer the kerb or a nice big pavement slab, just a slight downward tap gives you that more precise adjustment and control

    Gentle taps against a solid item. I use a vice, something that is solid but non-abrasive

    If you remove the timing belt, spin it over a few times, that`ll some times reduce the gap for you...
