Proper point gap setting

[1970 250C]

Hi -

What is the proper point gap setting, dwell angle and ignition timing angle for my 1970 250C?

Model *250/8*
Engine 114.023

Thank you

if no one posts, PM me I have the manual at home and will look it up for you

[230/8]

Book says 0.3mm to 0.4mm, which translates to .012" to .016". No dwell is listed, only a gap figure. I have found a gap of .012 to .014 gives me about 36-40 degrees, more or less. If you dig into a Chilton or Haynes it may give you a dwell value, but in three decades of setting my points I have not relied on dwell for other than a check on my skills with the thickness gauge. Setting a larger gap will partially compensate to keep dwell in a reasonable range as the rubbing block wears. When the wear occurs you will need to re-set the timing. But, in all likelihood you will need to replace the points well before the block wears any significant amount.

dwell is 38 by the book, good call 230/8
