Default 1982 Corvette Spark Plug Gaps

Just ordered a new set of R45TS for an 82 Cross fire injection Vette. What do you guys recommend I gap the plugs to. What was stock?

Thanks,
Dave

When I had my '84 with basically the same crossfire engine as yours, I gapped at .045 and it started quickly and easily and ran very well.
It got surprisingly good gas mileage too since the car was designed and tuned more for emissions and efficiency rather than performance.
