It's not hard, I think the Haynes 82-92 Camaro/Firebird manual (any parts store, $15) shows how to do it. Just don't get the cheap $1 key-chain type "disc" to gap your plugs, it's not accurate. Find the $5 ones with swing-out wire gauges; that's what you want. They're in the tool section of any auto store...

I'm with Graeme- When I "just" had the Accel Supercoil, I tried overgapping. I went from 0.045 to 0.050, to 0.055, and back to 0.050. The 0.050" gap gave me a small boost in power. The 0.55 made the car noticably slower; I imagine it was too much of a gap for the spark to jump. I also had more of a gas smell at idle. I went back to 0.050 and noticed an improvement again.

I suppose I should re-experiment now that I have the 6AL box.
