25164642 (Rapid Fire #4) Gap @ .045 is the plug for a RJ502
The wider gap is used because of the increased energy of the spark....
it takes a certain amount of energy to jump the gap at a specific
air pressure and humidity....if you have a high-energy spark system and have a narrow gap, the high energy is never reached since the gap dictates the voltage level required for the spark to jump.....therefore, for your system, the 0.045 inch gap is better if you want a hotter (higher voltage) spark. It doesnt matter if it is a MEFI3 or MEFI4, those are the controllers, not the coil (energy)system.
This is why changing the gap changes your timing.....tighter gap allows the spark to jump at a lower voltage level.

I bought the 76 in August , but haven't been able to work on it. When I get a chance I'll post some pictures.
