sandawg Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Hearing all kinds of opinions on prefered plug gap for Pertronix w/ 40,000 volt coil. Anyone have experience on a VW? I read everything from .024 to .045. I tend to want to split the difference and go with about .035 Also plug brand, type and number of choice? Thanks Edited January 11, 2009 by SANDAWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp-guy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Stolen from the pertronix website- What should I gap the spark plugs to? The Ignitor has no set specification in which the spark plugs should be gaped at. Every engine responds differently to spark plug setting. In most cases increasing the factory recommended gap by .005 improves the engine performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set them at .035, re set the timing to a total advance of 30 degrees and it seems to work OK. I can try to close them up to .030 and see if there is a difference. Thanks for the input!!

bp-guy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I believe the site said that was with all stock components. So you should be able to open it up a bit more and get a good spark. Double check their site just to be sure. www.pertronix.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
