1977 L-82 Plug Gap - Please
Hi,
I just bought a set of plugs and the store said to gap them at 045. The manual that I have (Corvette 66-82 Shop Manual, not Haynes) says 035. I have an HEI dist.
Thanks
Jack

0.045" if you've got HEI
It false to state that a larger gap will give better fuel economy or more power, more bad science. If the mixture ignites a bigger or hotter spark won't make it burn faster, hotter or cleaner.
