It's .043 for all 82-88 U.S. models. Unless you modify the ignition system I wouldn't change the gap. Too big a gap and spark is weak...too small and you won't get proper ignition.

also myet, im very new to nissans but im already looking into an engine swap and it seems the easiest is the ca18de. i know i cna get the ca20e block out of a stanza but what cars had the ca18de in them?

that is so i can grab the head and all off of them.

Did you read my thread on the CA20E? It's here. What you're looking for is an '88 or '89 Pulsar NX/SE.

Unless you plan on making some modifications to the CA20E lower end I would recommend you find a CA18DE and swap that. It would be much less hassle and give you similar if not better performance than a straight head swap on a CA20E block.
