"" I really just adjusted them paying attention the to exact spot where they opened up just enough for the20 feeler gauge""

the opening of the points does not set the position on the cam !

the highest cam position sets the opening of the points

step 1 find the highest point of the cam

set the points at .020

or better yet you use the tool & VOM method by R White or

use the utube video and a VOM
