I have a 1993 lx with a Vortech s-trim making 10 to 12 psi.
Could one of you guys recommend a gap? I'm using motorcraft
plugs. From what I read on past post on this form it probably going to be .035 but the spark plugs I pulled out of my car are gap at .045. I read the Vortech manual and it said to gap according to manufacture specs. which is .054. I 'm already detonating a little and plugs are peppered,so now I really confused.
I'm running a MSD 6BTM,Blaster, and billet MSD distributor.
Thanks

For a stock head I would use an Autolite 23 or 24. MSD or not, .032-.035.

You beat me to the punch. Definately would recommend a step or two colder. Gap recommendations are right on.

I think I have a problem here.
