correct point gap...?

[87VIP]

What is the correct point gap for a 87 omc 2.3 (Ford)? Also what is the proper procedure? I have just installed a tune up kit(condenser, points, rotor) and I set the gap at .018, thats what a friend told me to set it at. I just dont know if I used the right procedure and the right gap. <br />Thanks in advance for everyones help!!

Toby<br />Do you self a favor buy a good manual. It will save your time and money in the long run.<br /><br />I do not know your motor but my 1980 OMC 3.0L 181ci chev motor is .019 and dwell is 32 to 34 degrees.<br /><br />Does it run where you set it and is the timing still correct? If so should be ok.

Yes pick up a book with the specs and a dwell meter you will use it every season.
