taking tommorow off from work to hopefully "fix" my ignition and fine tune the fuel injection.....according to what I can find, the stock sparkplug gap should be .7mm (.028") for my 1.8 motor.
I thought that with the CDI such as a Mallory or MSD, I could open the plugs up to .050-.060" (according to MSD documents) anyone have any real world experiance with this?? thanks |

Well, when I put in the MSD system in the race car, I checked with MSD and they said to use .055 taking in consideration the carbs (Weber 48s), cams (906), coil (MSD), plug wires (9mm) and octane (100) of the gas I plan to run. They said if it is too small you loose power because of less burn and if too big the spark looses energy jumping too much gap and the burn happens too late. I also run an A/F mixture of 12:1 at wide open and so far .055 has worked well.
