When I was a kid the old men all said to set points to the thickness of a well-worn dime. The nickel dimes don't wear like the silver ones, but years ago I figured out I could set them by eye and be close enough to get good performance, just a little thinner than a dime.

I like the cardboard box idea, but setting them by eye you can roll the cam past the points and judge where they are open the widest, regardless of wear, so for the old tractors I'll stick with eyeballing it.

Can't figure out how to do it on the Cummins diesel, though.
