Start with adjusting the points to 016" with a feeler gauge. Next, hook up a dwell meter and readjust the points to 50 degrees of dwell.
You use a feeler gauge set to .006 in. Engine cold. You really should get the Bentley manual as you will need it. It has gobs if info in it.
If you have a bad condenser your car won't run. Always carry a spare set of points and condenser (you change them together) in the glovebox.
If you set the points at 30 degrees you will be fine.
.028. If you buy Bosch Super plugs, they're set to that at the factory. Check them before you put them in just in case they get thrown out in shipping, but I haven't received one yet that wasn't right.

If you are still set up stock you have a separate regulator located under the back seat. Unscrew the mounting screws and unplug, plug the new one in and go! It should on the drivers side under the seat.
50 degrees of dwell, plus or minus two degrees. Set them to .016", hook up your dwell meter and run the engine. If the dwell's too high, open the points gap; too low, close it down.
Yes! My 73 Super Beetle is set up the same way. I am tracing a turn signal problem and I verified this.
There may be a recommended tire pressure from the factory in 1973. However, I don't think you have the original tires from 1973, so this is what you look for- 1) Look at the side wall of your tire 2) Find the tire size information (example 195/70/13) 3) Below or after that their will be a psi setting (max cold psi 32) 4) Most tires are set between 28-32 psi cold. A 1973 Volkswagen beetle weighs under 2000 lbs so the recommended tire pressure is only around 20 psi in the front and 25 psi in the rear. It's actually a little less.
