Spark plug gap with 2.9" pulley

Today I just picked up some NGk BKR7E's and I was curious as to what gap I should use with these for my 2.9" pulley setup, thanks.

Anywhere in between .035-.040" will be ok. Yes the plugs are good.

When I had the 2.8 and the NGK's that's where my gap was and it was fine.

Always use the biggest gap possible and work downwards. If you find .040 not working then try say .037"...and so on till you find what works best for your setup.

If the plugs you have in there now are bad, then yes.
