0.65 - 0.7mm would be ideal.

If you don't adjust to the correct gap you will find that she will missfire under load when on boost.

If the gap is too small then the spark won't be large enough to ignite the fuel/air mix properly.

If the gap is too large then the spark will be too weak by the time it has jumped the gap & again it won't ignite the mixture properly.
