Points gap F engine

[romegadave]

Tried searching "points gap f engine" etc in the search but had no luck....can anyone help in what my gap should be? One mechanic told me to use a business card but since I do have a guage.....thanks for the info---Dave

0.018" (0.45mm)

I've always set mine at .016 (on my forties, soon I'll fire up the 55) but then again I don't have an FSM so I should go get an FSM and a .018 gauge too.

Toss the points and get a pertronix setup and never, ever, again adjust points. ;p
