If you're working on a project and you don't have a manual then a good all-around point gap is 0.020" set with a feeler gauge. Back in the day we'd use the cover of a matchbook to set them. In a future video I'll show you some road side repairs on a points distributor to get you back up and going in the event you have a failure while out driving your classic.
Thanks! I simplified and omitted a few minor details just for the sake of making a video about the basics, but even if you add in the other details they really are simple systems that work well.

Very straightforward video on how to do this. Never had to work on points before so I learned something new!
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback.
love to see work from older cars
Good video, simple explanation of what I always thought was a complex system.
