"Ted, if you do not have an OE

"Ted, if you do not have an OEM manual, it would behoove you to purchase one. Not Seloc... not Clymers.... OEM!
All of this information will be right there for you.

You will want a dwell of approximately 30-31 degrees. Varify this in your new OEM manual.

NOTE: Point gap is an estimate <u>ONLY</u> of correct dwell! Always set points via dwell!

Be sure to re-time the ignition. See your OEM manual for both BASE and TA (total advance). Both specs should be in there. "

So, as a rule, I suggest you read the factory manual (RTFM
