Yeah - anything more than 0.5, and less than 1mm should do the trick!
Incidently, mine are set to 0.75

I'd go .75, warm her up & test in 3rd/4th gear. If she misses, then bring down to .7 & test again. If still misses go .65 & so on.



You want as bigger gap as possible without blowing the spark out !

Mine are set to .65 on a GT35

same process really, as big as you can go without blowing the spark out.

Start at 0.7mm and work your way down if any probs.
