    I'll be dammed. I have looked everywhere through the big pile of spec. sheets and service info I have and can't find the spark plug gap. The plug I am using is NGK B8ES. Books do say Bosch W3 plug. Was that a surface gap type plug? Heres a photo of the plug after 120 miles or so. What yall think?

    These old Motoplats and SEM's are happy at .024" gap.
    Plug looks good but unless you did a throttle chop and know what RPM you last ran it's tough to say. You can't be far off, though!

    Thanks, this plug has 120 miles or so on it. I have never been a big fan of "plug chops". I prefer to look at an average condition over some amount of time/miles.
