ignition 101...
Changing the gap is done to change the dwell. Fiddle with the gap, but get the dwell "right" (as right as you can).
Changing the dwell changes the timing point. Get the timing right at 4,500rpm as per the book.
Get all that right including fixing that ground strap (fix that right now) before touching the carbs.
Dual carbs? Check your motor number, not to mention the car's chassis number. The serial number for the motor is stamped on a flat surface a few inches over the oil filter.
I would leave the carbs for a professional who's worked on them before this time around. Be sure to ask him questions and watch him work. If he won't do it your presence, find somebody else. It's easy, especially if you have a musically trained ear (I don't) and have done it before. But still, there are lots of ways to get it wrong, you don't want to find too many of them your first time out.
