[Healeys] spark plugs for '67 3000 and flooded engine

[Bob Spidell]

Standard procedure for a flooded engine is to run the starter with throttles held wide open ('WOT'); i.e. gas pedal to the floor. Without choke, of course.

had trouble getting engine started after period of not being used. i suspect i flooded the engine but eventually got it started. want to change spark plugs but don't know the correct gap and if anyone recommends a specific brand. also any suggestions about what to do if you suspect the engine gets flooded with too much fuel. 
thanks; obviously i am not a mechanic but love my car
