Go by the recommended gap in the owner's manual. For my 5.2L, that's 0.040.
Drive it for awhile and see if driveability is satisfactory. The 0.005 above
for economy and below for performance are guidelines, meaning use them for
experimentation and adjust accordingly after a drive for evaluation period.
I run 0.035 for performance on my stock ignition system and it worked out
for me.

I use the larger side towards the engine cyclinder and it works alright
for me.
Hope this helps.
