... well, I don't see the reason for increasing the gap at all.. Clearly 
the Pertonix method will make the firing timing more uniform, but it 
doesn't increase the voltage.. A touted 40,000 volt coil about bragging

rights IMHO, and increasing the gap minutely slows the spark delivery, 
increases the resistance, yada yada.. Fire away..so to speak.  DP

I did it just to see what any effect would be (note I only have a 
Pertronix Ignitor ignition module; my coil is bone stock and has a dent 
in it).  It does produce a hotter spark as the coil has to develop a 
higher voltage to jump a larger gap (the coil ceases to produce voltage 
when the spark fires; it's effectively a short circuit).  If your 
secondary system isn't in good nick leaks or cross-firing can occur.

I think electricity travels fast enough to compensate for a 0.003" 
difference.

I use NGK's in my (street) Healey and all three race engines (Coventry
Climax, Ford Kent and MGA).
I gap them all at .030" which just happens to be how they come out of the
boxes.
