(Fuzzy memory) There's possibly been some downsizing of variants. I don't mind opening the gap from .030. With my coil per cylinder arrangement, I just put them in where they were factory gapped. HEI or MSD could use .045 instead. The 6 heat range is supposed to be a step colder than the 3924 Autolite, or 12yc Champion. They stay cleaner in my opinion than the 3924 Autolite I ran for many years, even though they're colder. They're easier to read the heat range on due to their material being a lighter color. The strap coloring looks good on mine with 10.4 compression and aluminum heads. As always results will vary...
-11 marked NGK is 1.1mm gap.
