If you can wiggle the advance cam enough to see it open and close the points something is worn, Think the factory tolerance is .005. Prob a cardone rebuild I bet! Yes the point Gap sholud be set at .017 and dwelll should be 28-32. Hope that helps. Aso as stated the new ignition pars stink, look for older nos/nors parts and if you get a good condenser save it.
