You have a lot of flexibility depending on the condition of the parts. A good place to start would be around .045", then have a look at them after driving for a while. More gap is better if the ignition system has enough power to jump the gap.

Will a distributor spark if it is not in the correct position?

That's not really what's going on. The coil makes the spark, the distributor distributes the spark to the correct plug. If the distributor is not in the correct position, the spark does not go to the correct plug, or goes to the correct plug at the wrong time.
