If it is running fine why mess with it before a long trip? .006 My engle says .004 .008 is too much I think, rattles. You can only set NEW points to .015, old points must be set with a dwell meter 48 degrees max (I think) If it is running good DRIVE it down and Mark and I will tune it. For Mark and I tuning IS fun! I think I will do mine there too!
