Elva's MGA engine LOVES the NGK BP6ES plugs gaped at .035 w/ the 40,000 volt coil + Pertronics.
The standard 17,000 volt Lucas likes .025-.028 for a plug gap.
Also....I run 16 degrees static & 30 full in, as far as timing goes.
30 sounds like a lot but, B series engines like it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif
(If it pings buy super93 or back it off 2 degrees at a time)
And run the dog snot out-a it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
