I think you're missing a zero. 0.035" spark plug gaps perhaps?

I'm not suggesting that it's a bad ignition coil, but I sincerely doubt that you could ever get that ignition coil to deliver 60,000 Volts to a real spark plug in use. It's misleading advertising. It's just more of the advertising hype that everyone does. I haven't seen any of these companies give any useful information about their ignition coils. You basically have to do the testing on your own.
Getting down from the soapbox now.

Basic stock ignition uses basic stock plug gap specs, .028 . Usually, plugs come pre-gapped, BUT,,, it's always good to check.
