Question points gap on a 351 W

I searched and didn't find the info that I need. I have a 72 Ranger XLT with a 73 351W from an LTD. I need the tune up specs for the 351W. Points gap, plug gap, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Hotsprings, welcome to FTE.

Are you running a stock ignition setup with stock wires? I'm thinking the factory settings for those years is somewhere around .038-.042. You can go bigger with aftermarket ignitions that provide a bigger spark (ex. MSD).
