Default HAYNES / GREGORY's TE

What is the better one to use as they both have differant Info Eg' Gregorys point gap 0.304-0.406 haynes 0.012-0.016 also the Haynes talks about a 2 barral Solex carby and a V6.
Hayne's is 1977 -1983 No 426 Gregory's 1977 -1980 No 180a

I think you will find that they are the same. Haynes usually use an imperial system, where as the gregory's will be metric based.

25.4mm in an inch.
0.012x25.4 = 0.304mm
