Bob, sometime you n I n maybe the other Bob need to talk about plug gaps and electronic ignitions on the side by e mail or whatever so we dont bore the others lol. I have a running argument with a theoretical physicist buddy of mine on a related subject. My theory is while its true as you widen the plugs gap it requires higher voltage to cause current to arc jump across it buttttttttttttttt due to conservation of energy principles and since the coils stored energy (gets expended in Volts x Amps x Time across plug gap) is a fixed obviously finite number,,,,,,that higher firing voltage must be traded off with EITHER less arcing current or a shorter spark duration time. He argues the current stays the same to which I respond thennnnnnn the arc current duration MUST be less cuz you cant create or destroy energy and the coil stores energy ONLY during its primary conduction cycle at which time the secondary is an open circuit and an open is an open REGARDLESS if 0.025 or 0.050 plug gap. What say you????????? John T (loves tricity chat DUH lol)
