Points Gap

Do any of you guys know what the proper point gap is for a 360? Im running a Holley 4 barrel, and an MSD Blaster 2 coil and my timing is advanced 4 degrees. Does that make any differance on what the gap should be? Also, i am currently stationed in Albuquerque NM, so the elevation is pretty high up, if that makes any difference.
