The Chrysler lean burn ignition from the 70s was just a MSD in a Chrysler
box. I use two MSD 6ALs with built in rev limiter. With the plugs gapped at
.012" we have no problems, too rich or too lean makes no difference. Don't
let one of these bite you. It will lay you out in the grass for a while. You
can weld the latch shut on your metal watch band.

BTW Klause also mentioned that a longer gap has a higher probability
of finding a fuel molecule to ignite. He recommended a .016 gap
for an aircraft piston engine.
