Hi Kraig, I'm going from memory here, but I am almost certain that one is set at .035". It is either .035" or .045"; if you look at all the old plugs lined up together you should be able to get a good idea of where they were originally set. I saw an '83 Skylark one time which had 117K miles on the plugs. There were no ground electrodes left. It ran just fine; owner just thought maybe it was about time for a tune up. My point is: .010" one way or the other isn't going to cause a misfire. If it were an old low voltage point driven system, plug gap would be more critical. Also, plugs are usually pre-set at the factory and will be pretty close to correct unless someone, somewhere has dropped a shipping carton or something. Make sure that none have a gap that is completely closed, and I'll bet it will run just fine with the plugs installed right out of the box. Hope someone else chimes in here & hope ya get 'er going, Allan
