Gap for my Points in Delco-Remy Distributor

My points arrived so I need a suggestions on what to set the gap? I've read to set them at 0.013 inches and others say 0.020 inches. This is for my 1949 Farmall H with a Delco-Remy Distributor for a 12VDC System.
 
It's been awhile since i have installed a set of point's in one of them so i am not sure on it but .013 is NOT the set. Something in the back of my oold mind is telling me that i THINK it was stamped in the base plate as .019 . Way tomuch info floating around in my head on all the different point settings on everything i have worked on since 1962 . you can look up what a WD 45 Allis sets at aas it is the same dist. Use to be a time you could ask me what any Ford engine , Chrysler , I H engine , Cummins , or Detroit , or old Cat set at the torque of all the bolts and nuts valve sset injhector sets were Now suffering from CRS and use the books now.
 
I think 13 is the setting for a mag. I'm thinking 20-25 for battery ignition.I'd have to go to the shop and look it up.
 
.019 comes to mind but would prefer to be more sure than depending on my memory. If new .018 to .020 should work.
