Thanks for the info!!

I just got this truck and its been awhile since I have worked on a carb and points vehicle!! I used to help my dad when I was a kid. YRS ago. I love to tinker with old trucks. This is my first true ford truck! I had a 2003 with the V6 but had to get rid of it due to it cost to much in cali.

Would the gap be any different for the same engine with a four barrel?

If you can get your hands on a dwell angle meter it's much more acurate
