Re: spark plug gaps for 302 HO V8
I typically use .035" unless I have a high energy ignition system and then I will expand that to .045"

Thumbs up Re: spark plug gaps for 302 HO V8
Thanks guys
I have gone for the .54 gap
I am off to the Le Mans Classic on Wednesday driving down, so fingers crossed the old girl will go well on new plugs and gaps
Cheers
