actually you should use a dwell meter and set it at 30 degrees with the vacuum line disconnected. Set your timing at about 8 TDC. if no dwell meter .016-.017 should be fine. make sure to put a little dab of grease on the rubbing block of the points so help with wear.

19 for points is correct bu 17 to 21 is acceptable. corresponding dwell is 28-32.

You'll don't pay any attention to me, just trying to see if scanner will work? I'm not very good at it.
