Default 88 telstra spark plug gap

hi guys, my wife owns an 88 Mazda 626 with the 2.2 litre non turbo motor. I need to replace the spark plugs but don't have a service book here. I figure the gap should be the same as a Telstra so if anyone out there could tell me what the gap should be I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Paul.

Cheers mate, much apprecitated. Next time I'll try to remember to spell "Telstar" rather than our favourite telco.
