Default Gap setting tool for projected type plugs
My Aerosport 0-320 came equipped with UREM37BY projected type electrode plugs, not the normal massive electrode plugs. Any suggestions on what kind of tool I use to properly gap projected electrode plugs? Thanks.

No ideas? Thought this one would get answered quickly so that I could spend some money today!

I'm confused (which is not uncommon....). From what I can find the UREM37BY is a massive electrode plug...

No - it projects into the cylinder
