    Which plugs? What FP? What Timing? What gap?

    I am preparing to install Novi 1K. I am curious what plugs I should get and what gap whould they be at?
    Also what Fuel press and timing should I start with?

    Plugs: For your aluminum heads, Autolite 3923
    Gap: .035
    Fuel Pressure: 40psi
    Timing: 10*

    The gap should be ok. Since you have a BTM, you could start with the timing a little higher and just set the BTM to pull timing out under boost.

    This should at least give you a place to start!

    I use autolite spark plugs #3923.

    That is 2 ranges colder than stock, you could use the 3924 which is 1 range cooler.

    I run 39 psi of fuel pressure with my 42's and my timing is at 10 initial.

    I also have a btm havent played with the intial timing.

    You could easily set your base at 14 and use the btm to compensate.

    Good luck with it,
