Im doing a HEI conversion on a 1970 olds 350 rocket i need to know what to set my spark plug gap to?

Question

its currently set at points distance. i was thinking that i could set it to the same distance as 74-79 that used hei, but i wanted to make sure and also i need to find out if it would be i good ideal to used the plugs listed for 74-75 year model also

Answer 1

i would say around 60 thousands, because hei has a hotter spark, too close and the plugs will burn up.

Answer 2

set them at 45", make sure you drop the new dist. on the right cyl. the olds motor (rotor cap) fires counter-clockwise
