Re: Gramma's Car: the new project!

The reasoning behind the big gaps "back in the day" was to create a bigger flame kernel to try to light off the ultra-lean mixtures they employed back then to get them past the smog sniffer.

I've never had a problem running .035" gaps with an HEI, that's what I'm running with my 357 small block in the Malibu wagon. I don't think you'll have any issues if you're willing to give it a try.

FWIW.
