What is the spark plug gap specification for a 350 Chevrolet in 1976 El Camino i should have been more clear?

The recommended spark plug gap for a 1976 Chevrolet 350 El Camino depends slightly on the specific engine configuration and the type of spark plug used. However, a gap of 0.035 to 0.045 inches (0.89 to 1.14 mm) is generally considered correct.

Always check your owner's manual for the precise specification recommended by Chevrolet for your particular vehicle. If you don't have the manual, you can try searching online for a digital copy specific to your year and model. The specification might also be found stamped on a sticker under the hood or on the air cleaner.

If you can't find the specific recommendation, erring on the slightly smaller side of the range (closer to 0.035 inches) is usually safer than too large a gap. A too-large gap can lead to misfires, while a slightly small gap is less problematic. However, always strive to find the factory specification for optimal performance.
