Plug gaps, because of your post.

I set my plugs to 30thou, and the points (except I now run a luminition
kit) to 15..

Ahhhhhh now I see where you are coming from. I didn't read it right. 
I read that you had the points and plugs set to 30thou but now with 
the luminition to 15. does that make sense?

But now I understand that the plugs are set at 30 and the points at 15.

Phew!!!

&gt; I ask because I have fitted a &quot;Sparkrite&quot; type system that

Are you talking about the actual sparkplugs here, or the

points?<br><br>
