[Spridgets] Pertronix and plug gaps

[Adrian Jones]

I got this reply back from Pertronix:

"You may use the Lucas sports coil without using a ballast resistor and you may also increase the plug gap up to 0.010 above original specifications."

OK, so what is the benefit of increasing the gap?  

I came across a warning that the original ignition system may not be up to the increased voltage - would the weakness be in the Lucas distributor or in the rotor/plug wires/distributor cap?

I should probably leave the gap at 25 thou and worry about something else but I can't stop fiddling about.

Cheers
