Don, can you expand on what you mean by "the direction of the spark and the temperatures of the two surfaces from and to which it jumps"? Are you saying on a positive ground car, the spark does not travel from the center electrode to the ground electrode?

The issue with a positive ground car is the direction of the spark and the temperatures of the two surfaces from and to which it jumps. On positive ground cars, it has to work harder to bridge the gap and hence the narrower setting. I seem to recall that on my 1940 it was only .025” but I typically set it to no more than .028” if I wanted it to run smoothly under all circumstances.
