Im working on a friends 64 F-100 with a 302 in it. I need to set the points and dont know what the spec is. All my books are in storage 290 miles away.If anyone has the spec for the pont gap could you let me know.Block is a C8 SO I would say what ever the point gap is for a 68 302. Thanks!

I generally go for aroung '016 as a standard point gap if I don't have the specs handy for something. BTW, that's about the average thickness of a matchbook cover (or the box the points came in) in an emergency with no feeler gauge handy...
