I'm running the Ford Duraspark ignition with .050 gap and no stumble. I
would like to Dyno mine and install the
6AL and Dyno again to see if it makes any difference.

Will, You did the right thing. Word has it that .o55 gap on the plugs may
cause an off idle stumble. For me the 6al likes a big gap. Mine are set at
.055 and it runs great.....Of course I have it revved more when I kick it.
Who would leave off idle anyway? .....Bill
