<DIV>I run .030 on both Healeys – both cars have sports coils installed, the
tri-carb has a Pertronix, the BJ8 a 123 ignition (cleverly installed in a Lucas
distributor body). It’s not so much the ‘switch’ – points or one of the
electronic ignitions that should determine the plug gap, but the coil output
needed to fire across that gap. With a standard coil, I would stay at .025
as recommended, regardless if the type of ignition used.</DIV>

<P>Have heard somewhere, possibly Pertronix, that you can increase the nominal
gap by 0.005" with a Pertronix Ignitor. I went conservative; I think 0.030
would work with a good coil and secondary wiring.</P>

<DIV>The reason I asked is that I was told .035 which seemed a bit too large a

<P class=MsoNormal>OK Steve – I’ll bite: What caused the change from
Champion RN12YC to NGK BP6ES? </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Your having kept the Champions in for over 46,000 miles
would usually lead to conclude you had a good to great experience with
them.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>On the other hand, to change brand after all that time
and mileage would seem to indicate just the opposite!</P>
