Spark plug gap using electronic ignition

Does the factory reccomendation for the spark plug gap increase when using an electronic ignition vs points? I was under the impression that the gap for my Mallory electronic ignition system was increased over the ford reccomendation using points.

What is your reccomendation for electronic ignition?

I am using a Dura-spark distributer and an HEI 4 pin module. I run around .045 with Motorcraft plugs and it runs great.

Ive gaped mine to .6 it runs great and had no problems under load or up hills. running ignitor, flame thrower and bosch copper. dont re gap if you have platnium it will damage them. but i have thought of trying .5

I think the normal for electronic ignition is between .040-.045 I have dura spark and I gap mine at .045 and it runs great.
