Put my coil in last night and lost the instructions in the dark. I'm going to search my trash this evening (nothing but dedication here). Do I need to regap with the new MSD?

I opened up the gap on my plugs to .060" when I installed my MSD coil, just don't go more than that because a very wide gap is hard on ignition components and could cause misfiring.

If a coil was all that was added (you dont have a box), I would leave the gap where it is. MHO.

Good luck.
