Quick question:
Goodwrench 350 with minor upgrades in a 78 elky. Picked up some Autolite 24s per my mechanic's recommendation. About to install them, but what do I set the gap at?

I would go with .035 inch. My '85 with HEI distributor calls for .045, but my '87 with HEI distributor calls for .035, go figure.
