Spark Plug Question

[nosaj2k]

I am getting ready to install new spark plugs in my 1970 Bronco. Aside from possibly a mild cam & a Pertronix distributor + coil, the 302 engine is basically stock. Should I purchase spark plugs that would normally be compatible with a stock 302 of that vintage with a points type distributor, or should I purchase a plug used on a later Duraspark equipped Ford engine (electronic ignition)? I guess to sum up my question, should I select the plug based on the engine block/head, or should I consider the ignition system instead? What about spark plug gap? Should I gap it at 0.030 for a 1970 points type ignition or 0.044 for a later duraspark?

THANKS!! ;D ;D

If you go with the electronic just adjust spark cap wider.

X2 get your standard spark plugs for the 1970 engine and just open the plug gap tp about .042-.044
