Its not that the gap doesnt matter ( it does) as the system is designed to give the ignition a usefull life .
In reality all systems should be "blueprinted" to have max spark energy , especially in a higher performance example with increased compression.
My post was meant to say a larger gap wont make the system fail as there is a reserve available......i get them when they have smoked all the reserve for years and failed .......
