Each set of points is separately adjusted for timing.
Set gaps first, before setting timing.
Good Fortune!

If desired, may use your finger to add a little pressure toward holding the contacts more firmly together while pulling the sandpaper through.
May work as well or better than a point file.

When contacts need cleaning, a strip of fine sandpaper, folded over to expose sand on both sides, is handy to pull through the contacts on closed points.
If desired, may use your finger to add a little pressure toward holding the contacts more firmly together while pulling the sandpaper through.
May work as well or better than a point file.
Good Fortune!
are you saying if the point face is not flat then I should replace???

Cleaning the contact interface by filing or sand papering should help remove any pitting and also improve the contact area, which should be flat to flat as much as possible.

I have used match books in a pinch on the side of the road before.
If the points will not line up I would replace them. But if they are dirty and square up, file em a little with Pattons method
