[null and void]

Sure, just remember to replace the condenser when you replace the points...

Set the plugs to 35 thousandths, screw in the points gap until the engine starts to misfire, and back it off half a turn.

I used to use a matchbook cover to gap ‘em all, but found a feeler gauge works better. I tried to turn the distributor by hand ONCE, while the car was running, and got thrown clean out of the garage. Zowie!

Thanks for the tip.
