Try .030 that should be fine with such low boost for comparison sake I ran my GN with .026 to .028 to keep the spark from blowing out granted that was with 28lbs of boost id put some 42's in it also no extended tip.plugs are usually little more tolerant also
Good advice. 6AL works great with points. The way I understand it the points never wear out when you use them with an MSD box.
This is almost exactly what I would suggest as well. I've been running very high boost motors for a long time. Go 2-3 steps colder on the plugs from stock with .030 gap as starting point.
yes points will never wear out w this set up, you still need to check the gap annually, this is my favorite go to setup, if the msd ever fails i can hook the points back up stock style and be back on the road
btw stay w the boost set up you have righ now, that is a perfect boost curve for a driver, get a posi keep tweaking the tune slightly, and you will have alot of enjoyment!!!!
Hey Jon, Cool project My great great grand Father and Mother owned a bungalow in East Seatauket went there quite often for the holidays growing up... Great memories!!
Yeah we have been here a few years and love it. I used to work over there in east northport when i was 20 or so, lot of good hang outs.:laugh:
Awesome project Jon! I really love budget builds, especially when things get umm, creative... Usually end up seeing the most unique setups this route. Keep up the good work.
I for one, think that's cool, I'm sure others here do also, and I'm sure not going to bash you, nor would anyone else here I'm sure, for doing this on a budget, keep at it Boost changes the whole personality of an engine, just stay conservative with the pressure till you get it all scienced out
