    This is the magneto on my 1929 A-45.
    I can’t remember if I had any problems, but it appears that
    you loosen the binding screw on the “U” shape portion,
    then use a little wrench to turn the movable half of the point
    set. Presume it’s .020 gap on the points, and don’t forget
    to snug that binding screw back up…… at least that’s what
    it looks like. Is the cam for the points on the crankshaft or
    the flywheel hub? If on the flywheel hub, I presume there’s
    a hole in the top of the flywheel to set the points through.
