If you mean spark plug gap - 0.8mm
I think all distributors were inductive so no contact breaker points.
Valves - inlet : 0.2 +- 0.03 mm
- exhaust: 0.25 +- 0.03 mm





I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Ford/Fomoco/Autolite distributer (one with black cap) points 0.023" to 0.027" -- always set at wide end of range and recheck after 15 minutes running as gap tends to close up.

Bosch distributer (red/brown cap) 0.015"
