What is a good plug and gap for a 440 with MSD box and coil?

I have Autolite 85's in mine, gapped to .040 You don't want to go bigger than a .045 gap.

Why would you want them gapped at .035 or .040 gap or even a .045"? Thanks.

Maximize the spark as stated above , if you go more than .045 it shortens the life of wires & rotors etc

So, is it better to run a .035 or a .040? I gapped all my plugs at .035. If I pull them and change to .040, will I notice anything at all?

we where talking about the high fire msd systems BUT if you have a high fire ignition on your car then 40 would be fune . 035 was for stock .

I doubt you would feel any difference with the extra gap unless there is other problems
