Hi Guys!
I'm having problems with my newly built 350 SBC. It's a 1983 but all engine parts are in mint condition, rebuilt a year ago.
Now I bought new spark plugs (Accel #576 as an upgrade for my old R45TS) and they have a stock plug gap of only .03in, but my engine calls for .045in. What difference does the plug gap make?
Do carb and intake manifold call for a change in plug gap? Please help me out on this, because I'm running 8mpg at the moment, with little power and irregularly, timing has to be set at about 34° BTDC so that it runs at all. CAN THAT BE THE PLUG GAP?
Thanks, folks!
