What is the proper plug gap to use on a Crane Ignition? I am using NGK BP6ES. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I just thought 25 thousands was a little close for the Crane ignition setup.

Sure is Bruce. You might as well take advantage of the extra ignition. You may want to try advancing the timing just a nudge.

I can't believe it!! With the redone head and new plugs the acceleration is great and smooth. I need to adjust the valves again. I tend to set them a little loose until the motor is running. WOW took a trip down the road and back, I just can't believe the difference in the GT.

Bruce, I run the same plug and setup on a 1275 Midget, with the plugs gapped at .035". Works just fine.

Jeff would you suggest the same for a 1500/crane?

Mark,

I would if he doesn't. I'm running a 1800/Crane. It fires beautifully.

LLangus;

Zero OHMS on a one-to-ten Ohms scale for spark plug "wire". 10,000 OHMS Max for the string stuff---Keoke /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif
