in my manual it actually doesnt give a points gap size..all it says is to turn in allen screw untill engine misfires then back off a half turn. (its an old MOTOR manual..big blue book) ill look around on the net and see if i could get an actual gap inch setting (i would imagine there has to be one as opposed to the way my manual says) do auto part stores still have distributor machines to adjust and make sure the distributor is at maximum voltage output? thanks for your information..ill give it a shot. the car had electric ignition in it when i got it but it was all homemade looking and quite frankly it scared me. so i opted to pop in the original setup (with new points, condenser and rotor of course)...however ive always had electronic ignition kits in my cars and never had to deal with points(im in my 30s...im not 100 percent old school i guess)
