Want this question answered?
When set properly, the gap would probably be about .018". The correct way to set the points would be to hook up a dwell meter and adjust the points for 30 degrees dwell.

Dist. Points gap is .016" (0.4mm)
Depends on the year engine. No one gap is correct for all years this engine has been made. Typical spark plug gap is .035 on points type distributor and .044 on an HEI type system.

the correct gap is .30
First remove the distributor cap. Make sure the key is turned off, it is best to remove the key. Turn the engine by using the belt that goes to the crankshaft. Look at the distributor while slowly turning the engine, when the lobe on the shaft fully opens the gap on the points stop turning the engine, with the points fully open use a gauge, set to the correct gap, and insert it between the gap in the points, if it fits tight the gap is correct, if not loosen, don't remove, the two screws holding the points in the distributor, put the gauge between the points and tighten the screws. Remove the gauge and insert it again, it should fit snug, if it is loose or can't reinserted without prying the points apart loosen the screws and try again.
The correct spark plug gap is .044
The correct gap is .034. Hope that helps.
The dwell for the points should be 30 degrees. The spark plug gap should be .040".
