Point Gap Setting

Can anyone tell me what the point gap setting for a 1977 Ford F150 is? Thanks.

Cool Point Gap Setting

If your '77 has the original distributor it should be the Duraspark electronic ignition, thus no points!!

There isn't a point setting on the truck
In fact there isn't a point setting on a Duraspark II ignition.

I'm sure you meant point's setting on a pre Duraspark II engine.
For which you would have to put that info in your post.

I suggest using the edit button on the initial post to let us know what engine?

CD,
Set your points at 0.016 inch.
After you get them set correctly, tell me how you did it?
You must have an older motor in your 1977.
