It's just a matter of some small screws that like to dive for the bilge. 
  Then you align the points on a high-spot of the cam and adjust the gap 
by loosening the mounting screw to friction tight, and wiggling the 
points back and forth while measuring the gap.  (There's a slot in the 
mounting plate and the points to help do this with a screwdriver.)  When 
it's right, tighten down the mounting screw and remeasure the gap to 
discover that it slipped while tightening, and you've got to do it 
again. ;-)
