I have read that the gap is .014 -.016. My question is how do I get to them to adjust them or change them. Do I have to remove the distributor. It is a dual piont system (I believe it is called a clam shell? Dennis Carpenter part# 40-12127 A). The coil screws to the top and the plug wires come in either side through 2 removable caps, so when I remove the coil I can see the points but can't see how to adjust them. If I take the distributor off, and apart, I am afraid that I will have to re-time it to the cam. I'm sorry if I am not clear, like I said I am learning the Flathead as I go. Any help is definatly appriciated.
