So i'm doing a full tune up.....
I have the MSD Dist cap, rotor, and Blaster Coil installed. The coil is a Hi Performance one, Part No. 8226.


When I did a search people say .030 to .050! What do you guys think is safe? .040, .045?



Also my Ac Delco's have a #2 on them. These are the right plugs correct?




Thanks guys
