Spark plug gap!!

Spark plug gap!!
I have a feeling I screwed something up.
I just got my Haynes service manual for my 1995 5.0 302
About 6 weeks ago I bought spark plugs from Autozone and because I didn't have the proper gap I asked what it was. They looked it up and told me .052 so I gapped them all and threw them in.
I was looking in my Haynes manual and it states .044
Which one is it and do I have to take them all out and regap?

I just did a search and thats what I found too.
Incredible, the Chilton manual I have has a chart in it that shows all the plug gaps from 1987 through 1996 for all motors. It clearly states that the 1995 5.0 spark plug gap is .044. Actually the gap for every gasoline motor in any size from 1987 through 1996 is stated to be .044

You click on vehicle and enter your calibration number and in doing this for my 89 5.0 with calibration # 7-54-jr11 that is listed on my door jamb it says my gap is to be between .042-.046

I believe early 5.0L engines required the .042-.046 gap and into 93ish? They changed to .052~ area. Not sure what was changed ingnition wise for the extra needed gap though, maybe the MAF equiped engines?
