As Morgan said the Edelbrock Alloy heads have a smaller plug tap diameter.

Morgan, You are right about no HP gain for gap. With our engines running 10:1 compression or higher a smaller gap is fine. A larger Gap would be needed for a low compression engine.
The multispark is to make sure that the fuel in the cylinder fires. It is a better chance NOT to have a misfire in each cylinder.
