To set the points on a 1964 Dodge Coronet with a 318 engine, first, remove the distributor cap and locate the points. Rotate the engine until the points are fully open, then use a feeler gauge to set the gap to the manufacturer’s specification, typically around 0.019 inches for this model. Tighten the points' mounting screw to secure the setting, reassemble the distributor cap, and start the engine to check for proper functioning. Always consult the vehicle’s service manual for specific details and adjustments.
