The point gap for a 1976 Dodge Colt with a 1.6-liter engine is typically set between 0.016 to 0.020 inches (0.4 to 0.5 mm). It's important to check the owner's manual or service manual for the specific model, as variations may exist. Proper gap settings ensure optimal ignition performance and engine efficiency. Regular maintenance of the ignition system, including checking the point gap, is crucial for reliable engine operation.
0.035 inch was a previous answer. I would seriously verify that. I show 0.035" as the SPARK GAP of the spark plugs, not the point gap inside the distributor. The point gap I found was more like 0.017" measured with the points open on the high lobe of the distributor shaft.

Depends on the model & year of the vehicle. It is listed in your owner's manual, & under the hood on a placard.
I forget what the setting was but if you set them with a paper match stick it will be real close.
