Rex, I do it as a matter of habit. If a gasser hits my farm, the first thing I do is rip out the points and put in the magnetic pickup and electronic ignition with the 50,000 volt coil. The next thing I do is get some hot spark plugs that have the long insulator which makes them stick down into the combustion chamber, rather than flush with it like plugs were 40-100 years ago. The hotter plugs have thinner metal parts which get hotter and burn off the crud. Then I set the gap aroung .050 so that that 50kv coil has time to really suck in some joules (watt-seconds of energy to smack the plugs). Course, before I install them I measure my clearance over the piston at full up (TDC when measuring #1). Then one final check is a roll over by hand to insure that nothing hits. Then the final check is to insure that I have a 180 degree thermostat to insure that the engine gets hot enough to burn off the condensation in the cylinders......Then fire that baby up, twist the distributor right to miss miss miss, left to miss, miss, miss and half way inbetween...lock her down. Then wait until the temp gauge settles out around 180 and kick her down to idle and listed to her hit on every one....you'd think she was a diesel.......................AHHHHHHHH life is sweet. Mark
