Spark plug gap

Hey guys question. Trying to get my 360 fired and I got some plugs for it, champion platinum, what gap are you guys running? It's a 360 roller La roughly an 89 block. It calls for .036 but that seems wide. I'm going to eventually hook up an MSD box but I'm just trying to get it lit first. Any input?
ya that's what you need is msd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I would try 100thows. that will do sumthing for sure..................at lest a good start.......................good luck...Artie
