Default What gap for plugs and an oil question

Hi all

George A. has suggested I run Accel 416 plugs in my 428

I am using the MSD 6 AL full electronic setup.

I have heard 40 thousand and upwards.


Thanks

I would have done a search but thought this may be more specific to my plugs I am using and the ignition system

Tim

AFR recommended I run Champion RC9YC at 50. Works fine.

Default Oil question as well

Thanks guys looking like a 50 gap is more common.

Tim..

PS

Presently researching the threads for a good engine oil recommendation on break in

1) Looking like a 10-40 or a 15-40 multi weight oil ( non synthetic)

2) When do I change the oil after flash -up.... Right after cam break in or give it some time??

I will use half a can of GM EOS in the mix for first break in as well. I seem to remember hearing an oil and filter change is almost immediate.

Interesting blurb on oils , especially after reading the long thread on oil here
