I am tuning up this 318 engine and I need to know what Gap to use when setting the points on the distributer?

It is.018 32 degrees dwell when cranking. Do you know what I just went through to find a tune-up spec. For a 72? Good excercise. Lol.
At first I thought mmmmmmmmm. 18 thousanths and 32 degrees but I could not remember because it was on the decal of the engine sticker under the hood or on the front support. But all the 318's were the same. Must be on the high spot of the cam.
Lot easier then. Now the dwell is all in the PCM and changes every second. Ok
