3.0 point gap

[Fscott4]

I know somebody did give me the point gap for this 3.0 mercruiser but I can't find that thread at all. I have manual #13 on this but it doesn't address point gap, only electronic ignition (wrong manual?)
Engine is OD4454CO
Thanks!

On page 1B-3 of manual 13 it lists
gap .016"
dwell 39-45 degrees

Ayuh,..... .016" will get ya started, or a matchbook cover,......
The dwell will tell ya when ya get it Right,.....

I remember the matchbook trick from 8th grade shop class. cant find matches anymore though!

I think its time to buy a hard copy manual for the boat. The PDF is great but not user friendly...at least when Im the user.

make sure to set dwell with a meter.

I am now looking for a dwell meter. I haven't had my hands on one of those in a long time.
