What size oetiker clamps do i need for oe style fuel tubing?and how long does the tubing need to be? Its been a while since i had a fuel bucket assembly out of the tank. Im going to go ahead and swap out this 340 for a walbro

I dont get why this thing doesnt like a wider plug gap. I put these plugs in gapped at 30thousandths and it still had a miss. It got better at 28 thousandths and went completely away at 26.

I know 26 isnt that tight, but 12-14psi shouldnt be blowing out spark at that gap. I understand tighter gaps as boost goes up to prevent this.

Copper plugs wear out faster, especially in FI setups...
