Monte: 
In general, the larger gap will provide a stronger spark. The smaller gap was probably for emissions purposes. Keep it the way you have it.

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?
