spark plug gap question

[cuban b]

I'm doing a tune up on my 78 ford with a 460. What should the gap on the plugs be?

.035 is what I found.....

ok.. here is a pointer I found out from an autoparts guy..

if its a old styole plug you gap it .. if its the new platimum ...(dont gap)
if you gap them it will ruin the fine wire that is in the tip.. and it will foul out and not get a good spark..

acording to autozone worker there is a warning on the puter there on to advise not to gap those plugs...
