Should say right on the emissions sticker on the core support. I believe it is supposed to be 0.042".

0.130"....??..are you sure of this measurement?
Is this for a 2005 Blazer, 4.3L V6 or a Trailblazer, 4.2L inline 6?

Smile 1995 chevrolet blazer 4.3 engine spark plug gap

I know what OEM likes to say spark plug gap should be .045 to .060. Just recently i had a HORRIBLE time trying to start the poor vehicle with starting fluid after every time of 17minutes of rest. I really got SICK of doing this for 32days. SO:::::::::>what i did is my old trick from 1978 was to change the spark plug gap FROM .045 (or .060) to the more sencable of .035 and WHA LA it has now starts up even after sitting for 3 or more days with no assitance other than the starter. I did however added the ECO OB2 (for $2.75) little green computer to the system and is do VERY GOOD
Forgot to mention my 1995 chevrolet blazer was a field/barn find found and abondoned with 44,767miles and has a slew of other problems cause a few years of negligent service
