Default Will these plugs work in my 3.4L V6?

Hi,

Back at it again with dumb questions.
According to Rockauto.com these Platinum+2 plugs from Bosch (part no. 4302) should work in my 94 Camaro 3.4L V6: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...35863&jsn=8075
It does however say that the gap size is 1.6mm, which would be something like 0.063", which is waaay larger than the 1.1mm / 0.045" the service manual says I should use.

I'm not that cunning when it comes to spark plugs other than checking the gap and installing them, but I have never seen a plug like this before, with two ground electrodes. Will it work anyway because of that, or will these just not get enough juice from the car to even work?

Best regards

looks like the design requires a larger gap. if you decide to use let us know how it goes.

Haha! I'm sorry, but I decided to play it safe and go for a "normal" platinum plug with 0.045 gap for now.
Need to go on an 11 hour drive in just two weeks.

I never had much luck with odd design plugs on my lt1. I stick with the iridium ngk's and get good life from them. \
