I don't think you will find points on a '94
gap them at .54 I have a 1993 Mercury Topaz with the 2.3 Liter I-4. The recommended gap is .044 (44 thousandths). I highly doubt that the plug will fire with just over 1/2 gap as recommended earlier. The correct gap should be listed on the emissions label under the hood. I have a 1993 Topaz with the 3.0L V6 and the label on my car is on the body piece in front of the radiator. Mine listed a recommended 0.042" - 0.046" gap. I have mine set at 0.044"
According to one of Fords websites : For a 1992 Mercury Topaz , 2.3 litre four cylinder engine : ( the spark plugs are gapped at .054 inch )
The spark plug gap for a 1988 Mercury Topaz 4-cylinder is typically 0.044 inches (1.1mm) as per the manufacturer's specifications. It is important to consult the vehicle's owner's manual or a reputable automotive guide to confirm the correct gap for your specific engine model.
0.035 inch was a previous answer. I would seriously verify that. I show 0.035" as the SPARK GAP of the spark plugs, not the point gap inside the distributor. The point gap I found was more like 0.017" measured with the points open on the high lobe of the distributor shaft.
A 79 shouldn't have points to gap. It should be an HEI distributor.
0.020 in.
.020
.054 inch ( according to www . ford parts . com , no spaces )
I remove the distributor and rotate until the points are at the widest opening. Then using a .017mm fueler Gage I set the point gap. Reinstall the distributor, set timing and roll!
35-38 degrees of dwell for .015 point gap on front mountFord 8n distributor.32 degrees of dwell for .025 point gap on side mount Ford 8n distributor (after tractor serial 263843).
In a 1969 Mustang , 302 with 2 barrel carburetor , the point gap is ( .017 with automatic transmission ) and ( .021 with manual transmission )
The older model mercury outboards, with maker points, should have a 0.020" gap setting.
