Just a quick review question, are these suitable settings for gaps for a 5.5 head and stock distributor:
.020 points
.025 rotor to body
.032 W18 or Champion 518 plugs
Thanks.

I don't claim to be an expert on higher compression heads but those gaps look ok to me. I think your timing advance should be a little less maybe about 25* BTDC.
