i used high energy electronic ignition. tried 1.3mm, but the motor will misfire badly, so i back down to 1.2 mm, no misfire at all. the coil is warm.

From the 1973 Factory Service Manual:

Quote:
point gap (new points): 0.018-0.021 in (0.45 - 0.55 mm)
dwell (new or used points): 49-55 degrees
Spark plug gap: 0.31-0.35 in (0.8 - 0.9 mm)



Spark plug gap of 1.2 mm will slightly misfire unless you have a high-energy Electronic Ignition.


Quote:
my spark plug gap set at 0.35 thousand of an inch and i can say it has the smoothest idle and balance power

Yes, I find the same. It is noticeably smoother at 0.035 inch (0.9mm) than at 0.031 inch (0.8 mm).

you can set the dwell by using feeler gauge, 0.45~0.55mm, or you can use dwell meter which is more accurate to set the points.
