[ROVERNET - UK] P6 -SD1 spark plug gap?

P6B used ballasted coil.
Yes, any coil should do the job, I usually get one off a Jap car, they last and work well.
Right at the moment I have the Lucas on my P6B, it is working fine, and I added a Transistor Assisted Ignition to improve voltage.  Can take pictures and show wiring.

Thanks. Can I try a higher voltage coil? And does it need to be ballasted? I 
am showing my ignorance!

Yep.
The max gap is determined by the coil voltage (not so great with Lucas 
standard), the min gap by what makes the mixture burn and the plug not foul.
Try .025.

I have SD-1 heads on my P6. Based on advice, I have installed the correct
SD-1 plugs, NGK BP6ES. However, I set the gap to .030" vs. the .025 book
figure for the Champion N92YC.   It has a standard Lucas distributor and
coil. It starts but runs rough.
***Is the gap too wide?***
Thanks in advance.
