Re: Effect of too large point gap
John, Thanks for the post. I also learned recently to set the gap between the rotor and the pins in the distributor housing as close as possible without interference. The specification is 0.025 inch although in my experience a closer gap will provide a hotter spark at the plugs.
Before I retired, I used to have a sign that I hung in my office that read "Don't let the bastards grind you down." Probably good advice for the forum too.
