Default Re: Spark plug gap

Accel HEI Dist. & "super-coil" that mounts on the top of the cap.

You can kind of see it in this pic-

You do use up spark energy to &quot;Jump&quot; the gap, that is why a Mag has to run a tight gap- like .020 so while cranking the spark will actually jump.

I've found on CD systems, a larger gap works but on conventional .035 is a good place to start. </div></div>
