<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I run
my MkII BT7 on NGK BP6ES which were
recommended by some of the wise ones
on this list.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
car has a â??Sportsâ?? coil and a
123Ignition distributor. DW fast road
camâ?¦etc</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Now,
talking of â??recommendedâ??, the rolling
road guys told me to set the plugs at
0.028â?? and pooh-poohed anything bigger
when I suggested that Iâ??d heard of
much greater gaps with my approximate
setup.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So, I
went with 0.028.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
other day, I decided to experiment and
set my spare set at 0.032â??. Same NGKs,
no mileage on them..decent plugs.
Anyhow, it made a very surprising
difference. All round performance is
much enhanced.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Despite
itâ??s 3:54 diff and 28% OD, it was
never sluggish on our local hills. But
now it fairly zooms up them.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">To be
frank, all a bit of a surprise.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Not
boastingâ?¦just putting that out there
in case anyone else is thinking of
going up a few thouâ?¦..</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto;
mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;"><span
class="" style="font-size: 9pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">When
I asked about gaps a few years back,
some of the suggestions were near
0.040â??. Surely that a bit much?</span></p>
