Yes, Paul. You are correct; I have been away too long, and it was plugs
that I meant, not points:(.

I need a lesson. Why is the plug gap different between CB and RB cars? Is
it due to different distributors? I have HIF's and and 45D dizzy in this
79B.

If I decrease the plug gap from .035 to .025 will the distributor need to
be moved, and if so in which direction? It seems to run great the way it
is; should I mess with it? What are the consequences if the plug gap is
left the way it is?

Thanks!

Monte, 79B; desmogged, HIF's

It's plugs (which is perhaps what you meant) that are set at 25 thou for CB
and 35 for RB.  Points are set to 15 thou, as are cold valve clearances,
for all years.

Question: Years back, I desmogged it and installed HIF carbs and a points
distributor from a 74 parts car. Yesterday I had the points out and they
were set at .035 like the 79 manual says. It runs fine (a few years back I
had it up to 105 mph; wow was that scary:), but I was wondering if the
points need to be set somewhere around the .025 that the 74 manual says?
