They didn't have platinum plugs when these cars were made, so they
aren't listed in the manuals.
I use Bosch Platinum plugs in the '73 "B", and the '71 "GT". I gapped
the '73 at 0.060", and they misfired, so I closed the gap to 0.055" and
they're just fine. The '71 wants the gap at 0.050" to be happy; more
carbon in the combustion chambers, or just a heavier car, who knows.
