I have a '67 283 and an '86 305. I'm planning the change the spark plugs in each one. What I'd like to know is: How can you find the correct gap measurements? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The place you buy the plugs from should be able to tell you, their books list plugs and gaps for each application. You can also get it from the Chevy service manual for your 67. This all assumes you have stock ignition. For you 67 you want about 0.033" assuming you are running points. More for HEI. Good luck. --- Carl
