You look at your distributor cap, on the side, there is a metal square "window". Slide that metal window up to expose the Allen head screw that allows you to adjust the dwell. hook up your dwell meter, and turn the adjustment screw. That's it! After you have adjusted it to spec, remove the adjustment tool, and close the metal window.

How do you set the points on a 350 Chevy?

Chev 350's haven't used points for a long time. If you have an older one, just put the new points in place & reassemble the distributor, then, with the engine running, open the little window and use an Allen wrench to adjust the dwell. Of course, that means that you will need a dwell/tach. Newer Chev 350's don't have points. Correct dwell would be 30 degrees.
