Hope not
Keeping ones identity is important
Our bonnet is their hood
Our petrol is their gas
Our gas is their propane etc
You get the idea
Anyway I am going out and about on this muggy 27C day jobs to do, people to see
You have a good sleep. May catch up again tomorrow

Damn, it never occurred to me about plug alignment...ever. Is there anyway you can put your knowledge on a flashdrive and market it?AMS3-
Regardless of what plug gap you decide on, here are things to consider:
#1 If you are opening the gap way up to the .060+ range, make sure the electrode is directly under the firing tip. It's a good thing to do this, regardless of the gap you decide on.
Generally speaking (as discussed), a wider plug gap will start a larger flame front and has the potential to provide a more thorough burn which seems to help primarily with gas mileage, to a point.
For a coil manufacturer to say to set your plugs at .065 is certainly one way to announce bragging rights for your coils and (maybe) introduce a wow factor. Your engine may or may not care about it. Wider gaps can help, but do cause your ignition system to work harder as the gap increases. If it's in good shape, fill your boots and go for .065 as they suggest.
Only IF the plugs require the higher voltage provided by the Demon coils (or others), will they use it to fire. Again, a 50KV coil does not fire at 50KV every time it fires. It may HAVE TO max-out at 50KV however, if the plugs are gapped at .065, I don't know.
Maybe your particular combustion chamber (overall engine condition aside) would like .045 or .050 or .053, or .060. If we all had enough time in life to play around with this stuff under ideal conditions, it might provide some useful data.
#2 Mark your socket somehow (tape, paint, whatever) and put your plug in the socket so the electrode points to your socket mark.
If you install the plug so the electrode is pointing between 10 and 2 o'clock (up towards the intake manifold), that is a great spot for it to be. Torque to 20 ft. lbs. (or "pounds feet" if you are younger) without using any thread lube. Proper torque is important for allowing the plug to bail heat, as designed. Thread lube insulates a plugs ability to bail heat AND makes it easy to over-torque your plugs (not good in aluminum).
There are washers you can buy to help lineup the plugs (as above) for "indexing" but instead, as all the plug threads start in a different place, try another plug until it does lineup where you want it.
I wouldn't worry to much if it ends up and 9 or 3 o'clock, just avoid the electrode pointing down towards the ground.
Small things add up.
Sunday morning ramblings...

Question: Since you installed the Demon coils and Live wire plug wires, have you noticed a difference in performance? I haven't pulled the trigger to get plugs, wires and coils yet.

Do you see the Aurora Borealis where you are?Hahaha!
It is actually snowing right now.
I do get sick of the taste of seal meat.
In another couple of months, the frost will leave the ground then 120 days later it will come back.
Why do I live here again???
Yes on occasion. Around 600 miles north of here, they are quite beautious.
Even with the useless Cobra-Head streetlights they installed years ago in Calgary to reduce light pollution, "Northern Lights" are best seen outside of the city.

Yes, the flash-drives are only $29.95 !!
And if you order within the next 15 minutes you will receive the amazing vegetable spiralizer!
But wait...There's More !!!
Order in the next 60 seconds and you will also get, blah, blah, blah...

I want the Ginsu knives
Too busy hanging on to notice 5hp lol.
definitely smoother on light pedal and idle, again less raw fuel smell at rear. But then I want it to, so it does. I like the basic physics theory of why it should and I am happy with that. It was probably a good time to swap them out anyway as all original and 70k on clock.
I still want the Ginsu KnivesYes, the flash-drives are only $29.95 !!

The Ginsu knives are still on backorder...sorry.
Any update on the knives....
Oh no China again. I suppose all of china has stopped as that is the common problem. we keep getting told because of the virus there is nothing in or out of China.
I can't understand that mentality. They are still buying our dairy products...oh right they still have to eat
I woke up this morning to find that we are in a state of emergency.
Schools are closed until September and the kids all got an automatic pass.
COSTCO ran out of toilet paper.
The Drugstore chains did not.
Ginsu knives are up to know good, I'm sure.

I am sitting here stressing about whether the house sale will go through.
Definition of Stress: Things beyond your control.
Solution(?): Don't try to.
Solution(?): Don't try to.
Sounds like they have finance, just the building inspection on friday. Getting closer
Throw in the Ginsu knife set and seal the house deal!
And also mention something to do with SRT-10s (quickly), to keep this thread alive.
