Actually you should use a dwell meter and set it at 30 degrees with the vacuum line disconnected. Set your timing at about 8 TDC. If no dwell meter.016-.017 should be fine. Make sure to put a little dab of grease on the rubbing block of the points so help with wear.

You'll don't pay any attention to me, just trying to see if scanner will work? I'm not very good at it.
