Have heard somewhere, possibly Pertronix, that you can increase the =
nominal gap by 0.005" with a Pertronix Ignitor. I went conservative; I =
think 0.030 would work with a good coil and secondary wiring.

Your having kept the Champions in for over 46,000 miles would =
usually lead to conclude you had a good to great experience with them.
On the other hand, to change brand after all that time and mileage =
would seem to indicate just the opposite!
