W107 1972 - 450 SL tune up specs

Can someone tell me the dwell and corresdponding point gap for my 72 450, also, should timing be done with hot engine? or at start up and cool/warm engine. I think I am missing some fine adjustment , at idle I get a little miss, hard acceleration is pretty tight but seems like it could be "smoother"
once over fourty she flys, the faster the better.
I have never owned a V8 and so I am unfamilliar with "how" they should react or feel at idle and at speed and acceleration.
Insight, advice or comments please, and thanks in advance
