Id played around with gaps and heat ranges recently. Seems most info points to a 1.5mm gap with HEI ignition, which i have. But with these slightly hotter Bosch plugs the tips seem a fair way away (and back) from the electrode, like they're not really able to accomodate such a gap?

What plug would you put in a red 202, 10and a bit/1 compression, HEI ignition, ported head, bigger valves, twin strombergs and my cam:

IN. 30/70 280 adv, 214@50thou, 112 lobe centre, .440 lift

EX. 79/31 290adv, 224@50thou .465 lift.

Can't remember total timing to be honest. Set by a shop. Runs nothing but Vpower. Seems everyone swears by something different. Haha.

1.5mm is about right with HEI, any closer and the electrode burns due to the higher output of the HEI.
