Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1928 Model A Ford, good luck jack, point gap


Question
What should the point gap be on a 1928 Model A Ford?

Answer
I think the book says .017 in., but we all set them to a tight .020 in.  Get a test light and set them using that.  I mean set the timing using the light.  Get the Les Andrews book, "Model A Mechanics handbook".  It is a great book and it will tell you how to do everything on that car.   We all have them.  You can get them through MARC or most suppliers.
Good luck.
