Spark plug gap

I have a 63 F100 with a 302 and a edelbrock 4 barrel carb. I just went and got bousch platinum plugs for it but I can't find the gap for them. The parts store said .44 but I wanted to see if it was right. I don't know the year of the motor... Don't know where to look for the block number to google them. Any help would help.

points .035, Looks like Ford used this in most older engines....

electronic .044, should be a good starting point

No 302s in 63s, so it's stuffed and that's hard to advise. Like CW said 35 & 45 are places to start.
