Pertronix - plug gaps?

Jaydee · 12-16-2000, 11:43 PM

For all of those who have done the Pertronix electronic conversion, have you changed you spark plug gaps from stock? If so, how much more gap do you run?

I have it written down somewhere what I ended up with, but essentially I widened the gap a couple of notches above stock. I tried a couple of different gaps before I got it. My engine is the 200 so it'll probably be different for a V8 car. All engines have their own personality anyway so just widen them a little at a time and see what works best for you.
Sorry for the vague answer
