Spark plug cutback?
I have heard different numbers when people talk about the spark plug cutback. What are these numbers that you are talking about? Like someone put .035 as a dimension, and also put that with ignition stuff to use a .05 so what dimensions are we talking about?

The gap is like the gap on a standard spark plug, the air gap between the center electrode and the outer ground electrode.
A stock ignition has enough power to create a spark in the mixture with the standard gap; a higher energy ignition usually has more power so the gap can be increased to enhance the mixture burn efficiency.
