Alan,

Try the article  http://www.vtr.org/maintain/ballast.html      

Its an article about ballast -vs- nonballast coils, but does have a
paragraph on converting to a hotter coil.    There also should have been
some documentation with your new coil about how much of sparkplug gap you
can now use.
