After talking to George Widuch, who built the engine in my Volare, he said the pendulum is swinging toward the lower gap specs. Dyno testing and on-track testing seem to bare out that theory that as long as your ignition system is up to snuff wider plug gap does not make more power. A plus to this is your plug wires will last longer and chances of a high RPM miss less likely. Jim
