Try setting the gap with a feeler gauge between the points. After a few tries you will be able to set the gap in this manner and the gap will be correct when you pull the feeler gauge out. Also it might help if you mark high point on the distributor cam somehow. This will tell you when the rubbing block on the points is on is on a high area on the cam. I use a very small piece of blue tape for this.
After setting the gap correctly be sure and check the dwell.
