<VV> Spark Plug Gap with Pertronix

[Duane, Jim]

Hi Todd.
    I think it's more the case of "can gap differently" than "should gap differently".  I use .045 with great success, but use good (and the source is right here on VV) 'Vair wires...
  Compression?  not sure what the answer is, but I always go with "it's good" as long as all the readings are within 10 percent.

	I am trying to put a new set of plugs in my 69 110.  I have found my basics
	manual, but not my other manuals.  In the basics manual, it says use a .035 gap
	on the plugs for the standard ignition.  Did I hear something about having to
	gap differently with an electronic ignition and a high volt coil?
	
	Also, what should the compression be in the cylinders?  I am trying to
	diagnose the problem with my engine and I am going to run a compression test. 
	Should it be around 120 per cylinder?
