no that gap is ok. stock is .052" i like smaller but your fine

you need to see what you dont have... fire or fuel

do you have a fp guage anywhere ? or turn it over while grounding a plug wire.

gotta start by eliminating what is missing

the age of your plugs and wires is irrelevant if you arent producing any spark.
