- Reading back through the archives (as I do before changing ANYTHING on my car), I was looking for some comment on the increased gap recommended when you install a Lucas Sports Coil. Everyone says 'in

- I think this is the best you will find in the archives, as I recall. I think most people just experiment until they find the gap they think works best. I set mine at .030" (I think). I an not aware o

- My Nissan P/U has electronic ignition that is stock. It uses NGK BP6ES-ll plugs. These plugs differ from the BP6ES in that they are configured for a gap of ~.040". If you gap a BP6ES to .040" the ele

- I recently put a Pertronix Flamethrower coil in my 79B, rated for 40,000 volts. Earlier I installed NGK BP6ES plugs gapped to .035 as suggested in the MG manual. A previous owner replaced the points

- Haynes says 25 for the 25D4 and 35 for the 45D4 and 45DE4. 40 is not unreasonable for a sport coil. Never heard of 'large gap' plugs, the single-electrode Champion and NGK I use are adjustable for an

- It simply can't be true. Look athe curves. Given any coil, as the rpm increases beyond a certain point, the high voltage to the plug decreases. It's a subjective thing, ya see. BT, DT. CR
