Dave, I grew up useing a match book to set the points gap. When I set this truck up the first time with the carb and points I tried it. Seems that the match companys have gotten cheap. The stupid things are thinner now. I found out the hard way with burnt points. That is when I decided to buy a set of feeler gauges. Man I tell you, I have had to buy a lot of tools since I moved down here. Used to be I just used my dad's stuff but he is 200 miles away and he will not ship them to me over night lol.
