I am not running HEI conversion (yet.) Mine are gapped approximately between 0.030-0.035" and looking at the spark plugs I appear to have been running a bit rich even with a NOS carb mostly leaned out with limiter caps. I just discovered my voltage regulator appears to be bad and disconnecting it appears to drop my idle speed a bit (which is fine because with the apparently bad VR my idle speed seems to be a little high sporadically 800-950..then 900 through 1150 at steady warm idle. I will tinker with idle after VR replacement then see if maybe I need to increase spark plug gap?
Anyone please make sure you clean your tubes as well.
No specific tuning specifications. If I recall these spark plugs are for medium temperature range medium performance range.
