Thanks ya'll i got the gap set and the points set and the firing order is the same as a Chevy V8 which every car guy knows from memory and i think i got her in the right holes now !!

 

The old thumb in the #1 spark plug hole to find #1 coming up and looking at where the rotor is pointed, is not only a lot faster than posting on the HAMB. It allows for the chance of the distributer being repositioned sometime in the last 55 years.

 

Thanks RichFox and damn good point!!!!!
