You're getting into higher voltage electronic ignition range there, Courtney. You may find that with plug gaps that wide that under high cylinder pressure, the plug blows out. With a points-type ignition, all of your components have to be in top-knotch shape to hold up under that wide a gap.

A more reliable route may be to go with stock gaps...around .030. While wider gaps do expose the mixture to a larger area of the flame kernel, it doesn't much improvement with a misfire.
This thread, so far...
