Motorcraft or Autolite 25's. Have ran 24's. Gapped at .054. Then side-gapped. Then indexed.

ooo nice. You should be fine with the 25s...I say 24s just because ur car will be running with higher cyl. temps with a full hci and it'd just be a bit of a safety deal.

good luck with the hci once you get the gaskets and fuel pump..let us know how it turns out

oh yeah, if I'm not mistaken those msds put out quite the spark so you might wanna try it with what you have it at now...and then gap it a bit smaller and see what the diff. is like.

If/when you do the HCI, you will probably not be running twenty series plugs anymore anyhow.

I'm with Justin and what he's used in the past. 24's at stockish gap. You really need an ignition box to open the gap up much.

Dont forget to use some neverseize.

Good luck.
