Pertronix ignition/ Spark plugs Issue

[DatsunZman04]

I have bought a pertronix ignitor and flame thrower coil to go on my 72 240z, since I couldn't get my hands on a decent 280 distributor at a resonable price.

 

My question is? They say you get a little better performance with the ignitor and obviously with a hotter coil due to being able to run larger plug gaps.

 

What should my plug gaps be set at with this setup? Is their a better spark plug I should be using? Has anyone ran this setup with any sucess?? If anyone could help It would be appreciated.  Thanks again experts!!

I would set the plugs to the stock gap.

What are the best plugs to run, I know theres thousands of brands and different types but what is most common or recommended?? What is the stock gap on the sprak plug suppose to be at??

How can you do all of this -

240 block, 240 head, su carbs, mild cam, 6 to 1 header, 2 1/2 exhaust, itg air cleaners, MSA taylor pro plug wires, pertronix ignitor and flame thrower coil.

 

But not do this -

What is the stock gap on the sprak plug suppose to be at??

 

It doesn't make sense.

I dont remmember what I set the spark plug gap when I rebuilt the motor. Thats why I was asking if I should run a larger plug gap than stock running the pertronix ignitor and hotter coil. I can look up what the plug gap should be set up at on a Z. I can also just gauge what I am currently ruinning, I just wanted to make sure I am in the realm where I need to be or if I need to make some adjustments.
