My two cents.

Black plug wires were original. Use the color you want.

Points gat at .019

Dwell is 32'. (My dwell meter has grown legs and walked away it seems.)

Adjust the points with an allen (socket) wrench in that little socket head screw on the points. I have a tool that looks like a flexible screw driver with a hex end on it.

If yo have a tach, or by ear, with the truck running turn the point adjuster screw in until the idle drops, then out until idle drops, turn the screw half way back in and you will be close.

The adjust the carb.

Ask ten people, get ten opinions. Now it's your job to sort it out.
