Does someone know the points gap for a 1975 OMC 164 stern drive engin.

thank you
.019 be a good start. Then adjust with dwell meter once engine is fired.

First of all welcome to iboats!
Never heard of a 164, but for the 165hp the gap is .019", dwell is 31-34* and timing is 6* before TDC. Spark plugs should be AC-MR43T or champion RBL8 with a gap of .035".
