I have a 3.0 litre I4 Merc, I was told that the spark plug gap was changed from .035 to .045 in a Merc bulletin I also read a thread in here that said .030. This is a 1984 conventional ignition could someone tell me what the correct gap should be?

.035
That bulletin was for newer motors and different spark plugs.
The Bulletin is 2006-03 and for SN's 0M300000 and above

Thanks that could have some impact on my rough idle I am guessing.

The replacement numbers on my block are AC43RTS would that sound correct? I tried to have the Merc part numbers cross referenced all over the place and they couldn't do any on it. So I went with the AC Delco's?
