Dad thinks it's supposed to be 0.030 (30 thousands) but he's not sure.

So what points gap for a 1972 250 straight six?

Also.....

These are the parts I bought:

Points, condenser, rotor, distributor cap = BWD Select & BWD by Carquest

Spark plugs = AC Delco

I don't like the new spark plug wires as these are grey instead of the original orange....I'll take those back to the store.

Where can I get OEM-colored (orange) spark plug and coil wires to fit my stock 1972 250 straight six?
