What ever is written on the valve cover or what the manufacturer reccomend. Campion RV-9YC AC R42TS Gap .035" Timing NO MORE THAN 4 degrees before TDC Dwell 28-34 degree point gap .022" AC Champion NKG Autolite All good. |

I would not trust what is in the engine without some history as someone mayhave just stuff in what they had.. check with Manufacturer suggestions first, then change as needed(hotter/colder depending on fuel and running conditions. |

I posted a 470 owner's manual on here in PDF format. Search "470 manual" it should come up. It has all the info you need for future reference. |

Totally with you, just thought Josh should know that what's in there may or may not be correct and give a clue as to why it may not be, the engine could have a oil burning problem and someone could've added hotter plugs to counter or colder plugs for a detonation issue. |
