Have you ever done it?
You put the points on a high spot on the distributor lobe, gap to about 30, then start the car with a dwell meter attached. Set the dwell thru that slide up door on the side of the cap! I don't have the specs on that model. Parts store may be able to give them to you!
B.T.W. Nice ride!
