I was giving my '71 TR6 a tune-up and while setting the contact point gap it
struck me that both my Bentley and Haynes manuals state a range of .014 to
.016 for the gap and for some reason I thought, "how odd, its a range and
not an exact number". So here is the question, and I'll increase the range
to .013 to .017 just for grins; What difference does it make to the running
of the car setting the point gap to .013 as compared to .017? What
difference would it make with a new distributor as opposed to one with some
cam wear? Not looking to become a mechanic, just curious.
