    C3 with electronic ignition

    I pulled the spark plugs on the weekend and the gap was .45. I installed new plugs and put the gap at .35 as suggested in the manual,the car does not run as well. My question is should the gap be at .45 with the new electronic ignition?

    thanks all

    More information may be necessary. You do not state if the "Electronic Ignition" is a GM unit or aftermarket. Most of the capacitive discharge ignitions, (MSD and similar), will function with plug gaps in the 45 - 55 range and enhance performance with this gap. If your ignition has been upgraded with a Petronix or similar unit, without the addition of a hotter coil, the gap should remain at that recommended for the car originally.
