How to set breaker points?

OK, points did have grease on them and the timing chain is a new double true roller as I'd been told. I had the distributor out tonight and it appears perfect, points aren't burnt and the gap is at 0.013" which is a little tight but still within tolerance.

So, I've eliminated the timing chain and distributor leaving only the carb (which is new) left... one of my friends asked if it could just be a case of bad gas and up until now I'd just blown off the idea. As of now, it might be the case. I did put gas in the car the night before it crapped out and only drove a few miles after the fill-up before parking it for the night... at the price of gas these days, the stuff better not be 'bad'!!!
