Points Gap?

This should be simple but..
hard to find out what the points gap should be for the distributor on my 74 F350 with 390 engine, anyone know? Also the plug gap - is it 44?

points gap; 0.017"
dwell; 24-30
plug; BRF-42B; gap; 0.034"

The 0.044" gap is for electronic ignition.

Timing; auto 3°or 6°BTDC; man 6°BTDC -set it at six.
Idle, man 640RPM, auto 550RPM

4-6PSI fuel pump pressure.
