Spark plug gap
#6
The motor is a '73, and had HEI added at some point. I'm assuming it's very low compression and small valves. The old plugs were all at .035, but I'm going to go .040 with the new plugs. I run my big block Chevy at .060, and have not had any problems, but I know you can't compare apples to oranges.

I also believe that Olds sent out a recall/correction page about the .080 gap issue. Changing it to .060.
I remember writing it on my fan shroud years ago.

Thanks for all the input guys, I gapped them at .045, now I just have to put the new wires together, install, and see how it goes. I wish I had a '72 or older motor. The car is a '72. In '73 everything changed dramatically performance wise.
