Ford didn't produce a 289 Windsor. EDIT: Actually.... The Windsor is the Ford small block V8 engine family, so yeah they actually did produce a 289 Windsor. People usually don't refer to it as a Windsor though since there wasn't an alternate 289 ci displacement engine, such as with the 351 (Cleveland and Modified, which are big blocks). Windsor just designates the Ford family of small blocks. And sorry, I know all that is irrelevant to your question. I just wanted to correct misinformation. The plug gap for a 289 is .034
