Guest Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Ok I'm to used to MSD boxes and HEI's to try to set these points on a buddies car. It's a Monte also by the way. I put the points in but I thought there was a pre-determined gap setting. I have an old Dwell meter but I've never used it. I know about the alen head screw inside the cap window and fiddled with it and got the engine running today but it sounds like crap and no power, but anyway I was looking for a preset gap in the points.????

Daryl Smith Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Jon, I asked about points in another post. Here is the link. Later, Daryl http://www.firstgenmc.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000714.html
KLASSIK1 Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 .016 should get it running , then fine tune it with a meter to approx 30 Leo
wallaby Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 a matchbook cover works well as a feeler for .016
