You must know the size of the jam nut and screw slot to order.
DO check the torque of the bolts (or studs) on the center and end stands. Shoot for 45 LbFt. Work from center out. .025 is fine for cold adjustment.
If your Pertronix has no spark box (like an MSD) .035 is fine. If you do have a capacitive box, be around .045 to .049. When you get carbon stripes on the insulator, go back down a few thousandths. |
I have a similar wrench and the right wrench for the screw slot, need to verify the nut size and have emailed Harland Sharp about it.
I don't have a spark box for my Pertronix, so will go with .035. Actually, this brings up a question - when I took delivery of the engine, it still had points and the installer switched out the points for the Pertronix points replacement solution. Should the plugs have been re-gapped or would the required gap remain the same (not sure what they did)?
