Proper Plug Gap

Can someone please tell me what the proper plug gap is for autolite 45's in my 1969 F100 with a 302 motor.

Thanks, Minesa69.

Not too sure but about 25 to 28 thousands should be close.

So close is for horse shoes? That was not a maybe that was a close. There is a difference. I did not claim to be correct, just close. Anyhow it always got my old Fords running as long as it took to get to a real mechanic. Not all of us have all the correct answers all the time but still try to be helpfull as best as we can. Nuff said.
