Set plug gap based on engine age/type or ignition system?
I had a quick question about the gap on spark plugs.
I have an 81 F-150 DSII ignition
it however has the engine block which is a 1971 based on casting #.
So do I set my plug gap to the recommended gap for the 81 302 DSII which I recall being around .44 ish or to the engine age which is around .35 for a 71 302. It was set to .35 when I first got the truck and hadn't figured out it was an older engine transplanted in there.
I set it to the ignition system seemed like a good bet seeing as it is the end point of the ignition system.
