Yes, that looks good, it'll work fine. I may even get one. Like I said, I never saw one with lower than 4 cyl. settings. Jeez, I wish someone would make one for a twin. There's enough of us out here, I think there's a market.
You did right Casey - points gap 1st, then timing. Newage is lost somewhere in that "new age", lol.
On the gap, being more precise on the gap is better. It controls the dwell angle or the time in degrees of rotation the points are closed. This is important to properly charging the coil.
Once the gap is set it won't change, so it won't effect the timing. To adjust timing you adjust when the points open. You do this by adjusting the backing plate to cam relationship. You don't change the points gap.

I tried to figure what dwell angle should be on my ancient analog dwell tach and equate it to the 8 or 6 cyl scale arcs. Feeler guage and a light have served me well. If you need to be real precise I have quite a few matchbooks here as I gave up smoking 40 years ago.
On most analog meters, the scale starts at 20°, not low enough to read the converted 6 and 8 cyl. values (1/6 and 1/8 of the actual 2 cyl. value). That's why I use a digital unit. When doing this, you should use the lowest scale you have available for the most accuracy. I may get one of these with the one cyl. scale. That would be great if it could be used and read the full 93°. Well actually 88°-98° (93°Â±5°).
