I gap mine to .040 (Champion 426 - RC9YC5) -- and the MSD instructions recommend 40-45 for a gap. Over on the FE forum the choice of plugs is a hotly contested debate. Personally, I think they're all about the same. Adjust your valves, adjust your idle mixture, put in fresh plugs, and then monitor.
