Flat-top 350 bottom end w/ 416's. Plug gap????

As stated in the title, roller 350 w/ flat-top pistons and 416 heads. Anyone have an opinion as to what plug gap to run? .045 or .035? CCC carb (not that it should matter)...

Thanks

Randy

Yes there should be some plug gap.

.040" is fine. So is .035" or .045". Doesn't really matter, you won't be able to tell any difference at all.

Of all the things that are important about fine-tuning, that's pretty low on the list.
