According to http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/PartFinder/partfinder.asp I get this for my '88 2.1L Part Number Description Where to Buy 4233 PLATINUM PART / MV; Gap=.030 Locate Retailer WR7CP PLATINUM PLUG / MV; Gap=.030 Locate Retailer 7598 SUPER PART / MV; Gap=.030 Locate Retailer W7CC0 O.E. SPARK PLUG / MV; Gap=.030 Locate Retailer W7CC SUPER PLUG / MV; Gap=.030 Locate Retailer It's not clear if the #4233 is a +4, but I suspect it is. I'm using the WR7CP now, which has a single electrode. FWIW, they list all the same plugs for the 1.9L engine, except with a gap of 0.028... On 29 Jun 2003 at 10:02, R.
