    Default Mitsubishi Colt '88 tuning specs

    MY GF's shopping trolley needs a tune up. I have searched for over 1 hour on the net and can't find any specs for spark plug gap, points gap, dwell angle. The motor is a 4G32 1.6L Auto.

    I got some new NGK BP6ES to go in it.

    I havn't set up points for over 10 years since having VL, VN and now a VR. Still have a Dwell meter in the shed.

    Many Thanks.
    The parts have been sitting here for 2 weeks. I am a slack bugger. I did try Repco and SuperCrap Auto for a Service Manual, but they said it was a special order.

    BP6ES... should have either a 10, 12 or 15 after those letters... the number is relative to the plug gap

    isnt there a specifications sticker under the bonnet??

    yeh there should be a specs sticker under the bonnet like peanuts said, my triton has one and it says everything on, how to tune it, plug gaps, pretty much everything you need to do for a service

    The part number of the NGK plugs is just BP6ES. There are no other numbers after it.

    I just had a look at NGK website and found the gap is 0.8
