spark plugs??
what is the best plug to use in my 350, and what gap should they be set at?
btw: it is just a regular 350 with headers.

I am glad you asked this again. I was searching for this earlier and didnt find the info from the past. I will assume this has an HEI.
I will watch this too. Dave

At least .045, if you want to experiment or have a hotter coil I would try .050 or more.

Sorry I cant give you a plug number but a plug set up to run a larger gap is better because the electrode will be perpendicular to the plug. A plug set up for a smaller gap will have an odd angle when gapped to .050-.060 and causes an uneven spark. Will it work - Yes Will it work to it best potential - no |

I gap my plugs at .45 and I'm still running points. I get pretty good performance too.
