    i went to a parst store that i am not familiar with looking for plugs for my mid seventies sbc 350. I am almost certain she gave me the wrong ones and now my old ones are gone. the truck runns rough when it gets to the higher rpms, it was smooth with the old ones. does anyone know what the correct plugs are and what the gap is. Please help.

    I can help with the gap.

    30 thousanths for a points distributor
    40 thousandths for an HEI distributor

    if it is a points distributor, mabye try to replace the points and condenser, my 235 inline was doing this last week and i did that and replaced the plugs. and that has been working so far.
    wish you luck
