unless you have an aftermarket ignition system you should be running near 6 degrees BTDC . This is stock for the car with the points setup. If you have any work done or an aftermarket ignition system you can safely bring up to about 23- 29 degrees BTDC. This is only a good idea if you intend to just drive it for fun where gas mileage is not an issue. If you are just looking for a better response and a more fun ride, i would stick with 12-16 degrees BTDC. On to plug gap and points gap, Your points should be gapped at 0.019-0.021. The plugs with a stock coil should be at .033 while a slightly hotter coil up near .045. hope this helps
