that's what i use and i open them to 40. i also use a blaster2 coil which provides a stronger spark.

Almost anything would be better since autolite moved the production of the standard plugs to Asia. If you want to stick with autolites buy the AR race plugs , at least mexico is within the shores

I run copper Champions on aluminum headed small block gapped to 55. I'm pretty sure MSD recommends 55 too.

OT, Might vary the plug gap (lower/higher) & NAPA sells an Echlin rotor with a .060" longer blade #MO3000 for $8 & change out the door & might check rotor phasing

I run NGKs in mine but I am also running the RB, MSD 6AL, & Edelbrock Heads. Before the head swap I was running the factory Champion plugs. I still have like 16 in a styrofoam package from the 70s
