[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 494883, member: 3278"] [B]If you have a timing pointer the VOM method is the way to go. If you do not then pay fairly close attention to your .020 setting. By that I mean watch the articulating side of the points and when you slide the .020 feeler gauge in between the contacts the arm should not move out of the way to allow the feeler gauge in. That will be a very close setting. Keep in mind that one of the main reasons for the .020 is setting dwell time or coil saturation time. Too much or too little can and will result in a weak spark.
