.016 as a reference
I remove the distributor and rotate until the points are at the widest opening. Then using a .017mm fueler Gage I set the point gap. Reinstall the distributor, set timing and roll!
To gap the distributor points on a 1977 Toyota Chinook using a pencil, first, remove the distributor cap to access the points. Then, take a clean pencil and insert it between the open points while turning the engine until the points are fully open. Adjust the gap to the manufacturer's specification (usually around 0.016 inches) by loosening the screws on the points and moving them as needed. Finally, remove the pencil and recheck the gap before reassembling the distributor cap.
A 79 shouldn't have points to gap. It should be an HEI distributor.
It should have an electronic distributor. So no points to adjust. 0.18
If you are using the original points distributor, the gap would be .035".
Spark Plug (ACDelco R45TS) [Gap @ .035” for points distributor, .045” for HEI distributor]
If it has points in the distributor then it is 0.035 If it has an HEI distributor then it is 0.045
I don't think you will find points on a '94
To change points in a distributor, first, disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Remove the distributor cap to access the points, and then take out the old points by loosening the screws that hold them in place. Install the new points by aligning them properly and tightening the screws, ensuring the gap is set according to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reassemble the distributor cap and reconnect the battery.
the gap on the distributor points is .016, the timing is advanced 4 degrees and the spark plug gap is .030
To set the point gap on a 1965 Mustang, first remove the distributor cap and rotor to access the points. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap, which should be set between 0.016 and 0.020 inches. Adjust the gap by loosening the screw on the points and moving them until the correct gap is achieved, then tighten the screw. Finally, reassemble the distributor components and check the timing if necessary.
0.035 as long as it still has points and condenser type distributor in it.
