I've read the VTR page and my install instructions also only talk about the ballast resistor. Nothing on the plug gap is the problem. In fact as I type this one handed ,I a; /html/spitfires/2000-06/msg01211.html (9,626 bytes)

I think the power gains they were able to achieve by increasing the plug gap was on the order of 5-10 horsepower. To small to be detect; /html/spitfires/2000-06/msg01212.html (9,163 bytes)
7. Re: Coil voltage vs plug gap (score: 1): Author: Carter Shore <clshore@yahoo.com>; Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 12:48:37 -0700 (PDT); Note that points-type ignition fires the spark when the points open, the coil should be fully charged (saturated) by that time. So if you have mech points, that should not be a concern. Carter _____; /html/spitfires/2000-06/msg01213.html (7,687 bytes)
