Buick 350 spark plug gap? [broken search function] Looking for the spark plug gap for a 79 350. I tried using the search function but it seams broken.
I put an HEI in mine, and gapped at .060, though I'm not sure if I like it (and not knowledgeable enough to tell for sure if I like it). Its seems to run okay, though. Also, I'm not much for "special" plugs, but my engine (a '73) seems to like the platinum plugs.
Yea I set them to a tight .060 to allow for more gap later from wear. That is an awful big gap where Chevy is like .045 or less on everything. [I think] I do have an aftermarket coil though. Handy tip for the next guy looking for the lug gap. Standing in front of the car, facing the engine. Do the plugs on the right first. So when you get to the left. You got the angle of approach down and its easier. Can't see crap on the left with full accessories. And it like a shot in the dark. Plus the plugs go in on two odd angles and it just helps to get it down before you tackle the PITA side.
I just run good regular type plugs that I can clean and re-gap. I'll sand blast them and then take a points file and give everything a nice new sharp factory edge. save a few $ here, save a few $ there, have a bunch of $$$ to spend later.
