Scott,
Thanks for the tip on the Power Setting Tool from Far West Aviation. I have always wanted something like their wheel. I have it on order.
My iridium spark plugs are adjusted to .024 using a Champion fine wire gapping tool that I obtained from Aircraft Spruce. The engine seems to start sooner and idle smoother than when the plugs were gapped at .015. I am running standard Slick mags. I think the model numbers are 43xx.
The tool is listed below.

On the other hand, .018 plug gaps (so the backup mag operation can make the spark jump) somewhat defeats the better, more consistently delivered "electronic" spark.
