Seems to me the original gap was 0.025” on the spark plugs. A wider gap at the plugs will aid in starting, as it will take more voltage to jump the gap, which in theory will also require a “hotter” spark to jump the gap, resulting in a quicker start and smoother idle. The electronic ignition will handle the higher gap in the plugs, I would start experiment with gaps starting with 0.035” and go from there. Allen is pretty much right on the beam, performance between a well tuned breaker point system will be in line with an electronic system, but the electronic system in theory will remain at peak performance longer and require less maintenance (in theory at least). Good luck!
