    I have a '41 Plymouth P12 with a 201 L6. Could someone tell me the Points Gap for that engine? Thanks!

    Does the 30-30 rule apply to 6 and 4 cylinder engines as well?

    There are a few different distributors that were used over the years. Need to know which one. I’d have to look at my book but I think the gap…. Edit gap for all is .020 with a dwell angle of 35-38*. I’d recommend setting by dwell as .020 should get it right in the range except it will vary depending on wear on the points cam
