Do not try to gap 071c's when you are pissed
Thought i would close them up a bit on Saturday night at the Fordsport weekender as i was getting a misfire on boost! Just checked them all and they were all different! No wonder it was no better on Sunday

Spadge, do you gap them like this (below) ???? Some people get confused
and gap them square to the tip, then end up with a huge gap:

Only with plugs of that design actually.

There are quite a few racing plugs where you gap this way, and even some you gap down the side of the electrode at 90 degrees when you get down to heat range 11 and above.

Horses for courses...
