<p>A wider gap makes a stronger spark (until it doesn't). The
larger the gap, the more voltage required from the coil to jump
the gap. I have a stock coil (AFAIK it's the original from Nov.
1966).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans

year for inspection (removing for valve check/adjustment
and compression check anyway), clean and re-gap as
necessary, then keep on truckin' until next time. No
reason to do it more frequently as long as the engine is
running well. I currently have 12,411 miles on a set of
NGK BP6ES plugs installed new in October 2012. I got
46,500 miles out of the previous set of Champion RN12YC.</span></p>
