Aloha All,
I've read several times that when a higher output coil, like a Lucas sport coil replaces the standard Lucas coil the spark plug gap should be increased. The standard Lucas coil is 20KV and the Lucas sports coil is 40KV. What I don't recall ever reading is what the new gap should be or how much larger it should be opened. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am also considering upgrading my ignition system with a Pertronix system to replace the current points and standard Lucas coil. I would retain the coil and points back up in the boot.
