How do you know when you gapped your spark plugs to much?
Well , I think I found out but not sure. I have a performance ignition module and a MSD coil and was told I could do 55-60 gap on the plugs. Well if 55 is good I will do 60
. It idles smooth and get up to rpms perfect. My problem is about 3000 rpm if I let of the gas quick it will shut off when the rpms are coming back down. What you guys think? I think I might of passed the sweet spot just a hair.

when power drops off, you gapped too high. 55-60 is fine for a high performance ignition. It will, however, burn your distributor cap terminals quicker..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
