Actually I will probably have to change out my plugs more often with the
MSD than without. My experience has been that with the hotter the ignition
the faster it burns up the electrodes on spark plugs. Oh well the price
you pay for performance.

With all the ignition discussion, I thought I'd note an observation
from last weekend's tinkering.

The stock ignition coil seems to be extremely sensitive to plug gap.

I'm running the NGK V-Power (FR-4) plugs. They're gapped at the factory,
but with the V in the electrode, they seem to open up pretty quickly
(well, in 40K miles, anyway). I didn't have an extra set, so I regapped
and re-installed my old plugs, and the truck is running just great.

I'm sure with a higher voltage Accel or MSD coil this would not be a
problem. Anyone else had the same experience?
