"Leo, per the Pertronix web site:

What should I gap the spark plugs to?
The Ignitor has no set specification in which the spark plugs should be gaped at. Every engine responds differently to spark plug setting. In most cases increasing the factory recommended gap by .005 improves the engine performance.


I set the plug gaps on my AQ130C with Ignitor and Flamethrower to about .030 and have good results.

"Thanks Bob , .030 is about what I had in mind . Yep , I got it to running (after replacing just about everything but the gas cap ) . It was running hot so I replaced the impeller . Started it again and had a screw driver laying on top of the fresh water tank, it slid off and broke the timing belt . This boat is about to drive me to chasing women . I know I wont be able to get another belt without ordering it online . I'm wondering if a 242 Volvo car would have the same belt ? Anyone know ??"
