Thanks Noel.

You are quite correct,,025" it is. But I still think that is big as most gaps I work with are,015" and the car does not like the big gap. so I have put it back to ,015"

I have a MK1 Capri. My workshop manual states the contact breaker gap as .025" which is very large compared to normal cars of say.015" Is this a mistake? When I set the gap at 0.25" the car does not run as smoothly as when I set it at 0.15" I would be interested as to what other ...
