I would" like to know about spark
gaps or spark plug intensifier. Does
it pay to use spark gaps on Ford mo.

How should points in the gap be set
to get best lesults? Should the 110111111

set too close together? Can poin1<

together? What is the result when

A spark plug intensifier will in-
crease the power of lhe“‘spa1k to .1
