if you put in the right Delco part number for your car they are already gaped.

Not after shipping and having the boxes dropped on the floor, kicked around, etc... Spark plug gappers are only like $.50 and you should always check the gap before installing new plugs.

Talk about a small gap!
And shifted, have you ever bought spark plugs? How are they packaged?
with the cardboard cylinder around the threaded portion of the plug, maybe?
But it is still a good idea to check the gap, the factory could have gapped the plug incorrectly.

LOL, yeah, I've bought spark plugs. You'd be surprised even with that cardboard tube thing there, they still get odd gaps.

the ground on the platunim professionals is pretty heavy duty, you shouldn't have any problems.

For the time it takes to check and or set the gap why not give your self the peace of mind.
