Default Spark plug gaps with MSD system

Hey,
I installed an MSD distributer and coil in my 67 with a 289 a few weeks ago, but I didn't get around to adjusting the gaps. Any ideas on where these need to be set? Also, will this make any noticable difference in performance or fuel economy?

I like .035. You should see better accel and power, easier starting.

The standard set is 0.032 wih points, but with electronic you can open them up more. Start with 0.40.
