[Antennas] spark plug air gaps?

To those gents and ladies who might have now or in the past, installed
spark plug lightning arrestors on your open wire feeders, has there ever
been published what air gap to set for a given level of power out and
possibly factored by expected VSWR on that feeder.
Typical automotive gaps for a 20,000 to 25,000 volt spark would be in
the .030" area. I would like my air gaps to fire at a much lower voltage.
You attention is appreciated.
