Default Tried to do a tune-up today

I bought a new cap/rotor, plugs and wires. When I pulled the cap off, the points inside looked nearly perfect. The rotor looked real good too. I guess the guy I bought my car from had those replaced recently. So I decided to just do plugs and wires. Ummm, didn't realize that the spark plugs were buried so far down and I don't have a long extention socket. Time to make a trip to Sears for the socket. Once I get those, I'll replace plugs and wires. I'll buy a gap tool while I'm at it.

Too lazy to search...what is the proper gap for a 94 Civic LX?

1.1 mm or 0.43 inches i think. Might want to double check the service manual.

speaking of RTFM, I downloaded the entire Helms manual. It was in a link somewhere on here. The thing was like almost 90 megs, but I think well worth it.
