The proper spark plug gap for your 1998 Ford Ranger 2.5L with 8 plugs depends on the specific spark plugs you're using. Here are some recommended gap values:
Champion RC8PCY: Gap of 0.8mm.
NGK PFR6B-II: Gap of 1.1mm.
It depends on the spark plugs that have been used. Some are pre gapped, some have three preset side electrodes around the edge. Gapping spark plugs is not as critical as the old days due to modern CDI ignition systems which give a much larger spark and huge improvements in spark plug technology.
Spark plug gap, .051 or
1.3--1.4mm
That is for motorcraft spark plug, AGSF-32WM or equivalent.
Different spark plug manufacturers may have different gap specs.

The spark plug gap is usually on a sticker under the hood or in the owners manual. It is usually in the range of 0.045 to 0.060. Don't believe the guy at the parts store when he says the plugs are pre-gapped.
