The basic gap adjustment for points on a benz is one of two things.
- With an transistorized ignition system use a match-book cover. (piece of thin cardboard)
- Without a transistorized switch box, do twice that (fold the cardboard).
These are just rough estimate settings to get the thing close. I learned that 20+ years ago and it's pretty close to spot on usually.
After you set it, you net to test it with the dwell meter and adjust accordingly. When dealing with used points, the gap is meaningless, since the points are pitted a bit and near impossible to measure accurately.
