Just bought a set at a swap meet ( thanks Ken!)
the plug electrodes are in good shape, but a little rust around the insulator.
Opinions vary on maintenance.... some say never touch them, and here's a tech sheet that says to sandblast them like the massive electrode!

I can see that the fine wires are subject to damage, but I could cause as much digging around in there by hand, as a quick blast of grit.
What about gapping? ( .016 - .021 on the box)
I don't have the fancy tool, so what's the 'homebuilders' secret? wooden chopsticks?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
