Do I need to bend the part of the point that the wires are screwed onto …
NO! use the 2nd off-set screw … just loosen the main screw a bit holding down the points and use the pivoting one to adjust the gap.
but… in fact the gap size becomes more or less irrelevant if the points open up at the mid point of the two bars as in the video.
to set them with no tools just adjust the gap for .020 att he high point of the cam lobe.

try not to damage the base gasket . if you order a new one make certain the pattern matches yours !! they look the same but….
