How much gap?

Thanks for all the opinions on spark plugs that helps alot. I got a set a autolites and they are gapped at .044. Is this ok or should I take it down some.

Sorry, didn't see your thread on spark plugs. What ignition system do you have? .044" is perfect for the stock Duraspark.

Is the Accel points or electronic?
I run a Mallory Unilite/HyFire setup, plugs are at .045.

Actually, if anything you would want to increase the gap. However with your setup...the stock .044 would still be ideal.
