I'm trying to find the gap for stock points on a 69 396/325. I will set the dwell at 30 when I get it running.

.018 I believe..I usually just install them,and set the dwell without gapping them..never any problems,and I've been doing that for years.
I just align the contacts so they are centered and the points don't wear too much on one side.

In the past I would just put them in and set the dwell. But this set didn't have any gap, and the car will not start. So I figured this would be the best place to start. Thanks for reply.

Back in the old days, a matchbook cover would get you close in a pinch. graemlins/beers.gif
