stock gap is .044

My 2000 service manual says for both the 2.4 and 3.0 GT motor the gap should be 1.0-1.1 mm or 0.039-0.043 inches not to exceed 0.051 inches on the GT.

Thanks! I set it at .039.

 

Chase i would set it on the high side not on the low side. the more exposure you give the fuel to the spark the more power you will get! i would go .043 but not anymore because w/ nos the fuel air mixture will be harder to lite off. get the blaster II coil from MSD and run .055 to .065 with the nos. its not a expensive coil at all

 

what if I am correct nothing MSD makes will work for these cars.

I forgot what my gap is. I have it writen down at home some were.

 

i swore one of their coil packs can be run off a trigger wire coming out of the dis.

 

Not that I know of. Still would not be worth it the stock one is fine. I have never had any problems.

 

well let me just say this and i wil drop it... i had a stock HEI setup on my chevy... installed a Jacobs prostreet ditigal ignition and picked up over 75 HP. the stock one just couldent lite off a 11.5:1 motor with over .600" lift. the worse the mixture the harder it will be to lite it off. cylinder presure makes a BIG difference. if u run high compression the resistance the spark will have to jump through the plug will be to high and it will start to mis... been there, see it happen, done it myself...

 

^ not fight you. Just saying with my N20 set up the stock system has handled it fine for 3 years, running a 75 shoot.

 

oh ya TOTALLY agree! just saying more spark = more power, and makes future mods perform better

 

i have a idea for a msd setup. if you just want to use a coil and not a whole box. take the msd blaster SS coil look it up to the positive for the coil that is in car now and the trigger wire. take a spark plug break off the metal piece down, and grind it flat. drill a hole in the dis cap and use a hella stong epoxy to mount the plug in the center of the cap. i know it sounds RETARDED but should work!!
