Some spark plugs come pre- gaped depending on the vehicle and type of spark plug. But even pre-gaped plugs should be checked with a feeler gauge to be sure it is correct
If the plugs you are using are not pre-gaped a feeler gauge must be utilized
in order to get an accurate gap reading. Your local auto parts store can help you with what the gap should be for your vehicle.

You just check the gap but usually they are good if new and for the right application. The gap is the air gap between electrode and ground strap. Just use a feeler gauge and they are typically anywhere from around .30-.65. To adjust, just bend electrode with a needle nose and recheck with feeler. There should only be a slight drag when pulled through not too tight.
