As far as timing, the engine calls for 5 BTDC originally,. You might want to run it closer to 12, unless you get any spark knock. 8 degrees is a good setting.
your dwell angle will be 29 timing ( initial ) will be 6 degrees below TDC
To set the timing marks on the timing gears of a 1969 Dodge Dart with a 225 Slant Six engine, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Align the timing mark on the crankshaft gear with the mark on the timing cover, and then align the camshaft gear's mark with the corresponding mark on the timing chain or cover. This ensures that both the crankshaft and camshaft are properly synced for optimal engine performance. After aligning, double-check the marks before reassembling any components.
dodge never made a 500 cu. in. engine, the biggest engine in 1969 was the 426 hemi and it was rated at 425 horse and the 440 engine had 375 horse.
426 hemi will fit or any new engine dodge makes will also fit.

The points gap for a 1969 Dodge 318 engine is typically set between 0.016 to 0.020 inches (or 0.4 to 0.5 mm). Proper adjustment of the points gap is crucial for optimal ignition timing and engine performance. Always refer to the specific service manual for your vehicle to confirm the exact specifications, as they may vary slightly based on the model and any modifications.
