Hmmm...I don't know if I'd use Simple Green. Thay have cleaners
specifically designed for TB's. As for the platinum plugs, you shouldn't be
using them if you have an MSD unit. People who have used them w/o the MSD
unit have preferred the copper ones. I don't know that I would gap them
differently from the factory recommended gap.

Subject: DML: MAP & gap ?
I just picked up a set of Autolite 3923 Platinum Pros, which I've never
used before. Usually I use the copper core and just leave them gapped at
.035. Should I go up to .040 with the Platinums, especially with the new
HP PCM?
Next weekend I thought I'd clean the TB and replace the MAP sensor,
except I can't seem to find one. Baxter Auto Parts doesn't list it, Napa
lists it but says they're not being made yet and they sell for $130,
haven't tried the dealer yet. Can I get one through Summit or Jegs or
Whenchead? Anyone know a part number for the 97-99 5.2L MAP sensor?
Any tips on cleaning the TB? I thought I'd dab a little Simple Green on
a clean rag and just wipe carefully, I did notice a little black build
up on the blades when I recently had the hat off to replace the plug
wires.
Thanks for any help.
