What is the spark plug gap for a 1993 Ford Explorer?

The gap is 0.52 for factory-type OEM Copper Core plugs, and 0.54 for Platinum Core plugs (recommend Bosch for added fuel economy). The best gauge is the circular type with the thickness ramp around the outer edge. Do not use the circular one with the wires that are bent in a square or the feeler-blade-type as they are not as accurate and can damage the electrode.


Objects that move along a circular path are they accelerated toward the outer edge of the circle?

Actually, objects moving around a circular path have two accelerations i.e. radial acceleration and tangential acceleration. Radial acceleration is towards the radius whereas tangential acceleration is the acceleration along the direction of the tangent to the path of the motion. So, I would say yes, they are accelerated towards the outer edge of the circle.
