What to gap the plugs at with MSD?

Did a search and nothing came up. I will be running no more than a 125 shot. I have autolite 104's. I see the avg. gap is .040 but I think those are with a stock igniton. Should open it a bit since I have a little extra punch from my MSD? Mods in sig.


Thanks,
Jeff

I run a 150-175 NX shot with an MSD ignition. I have the Autolite 103's gapped at .040. Never had a problem.

.040 won't be a problem at all, I run .038 with stock ignition.

I run mine at .035. With the MSD you will be fine anywhere between .035 and .040.

I put the Autolite and and my car ran like poopstank. Two of the plugs were arcing out onto the head. I swapped those two out and put the 2 old NGK's back in and it helped alot. I just bought some new NGK's and am going to put them back in soon. I dont like the way it runs with Autolites.
