[Healeys] BJ8 turn signal indicator lights

[Bob Spidell]

I did it just to see what any effect would be (note I only have a 
Pertronix Ignitor ignition module; my coil is bone stock and has a dent 
in it).  It does produce a hotter spark as the coil has to develop a 
higher voltage to jump a larger gap (the coil ceases to produce voltage 
when the spark fires; it's effectively a short circuit).  If your 
secondary system isn't in good nick leaks or cross-firing can occur.

I think electricity travels fast enough to compensate for a 0.003" 
difference.
