I just pulled these out of the ZZ4 in my`64..it appears the plugs have been in there gapped at .050 with a points type distributor since the motor was installed in the `64...that was in 1997.
I think you got your moneys worth after 10 years! With points, .050 is amazing - you must have some really good wires! Put a new set in for another 10 years!
