Hi Steve; If you can use a dwell meter on your points (best method) they should be set at 31-34 degrees. If using feeler guages, set at .018". Be aware though, IF you change the point gap - it does affect your timing, so recheck timing when you're done.
P.S. Leave the wife at home until you get it just right, then take her to A&W or someplace like that - she'll love it.
