Fred Kanter gives good advice on checking the distributor bushing.

My ORIGINAL 1956 (not a reprint) MOtors Manual indicates point gap for all AL duistributors as .017" 46 thru 1956 EXCEPT 46 and 47 six at .020"

Delco distributor point at .016" for all 48 - 56 EXCEPT 46 and 47 6 cylinder at .022".

Spark plug gap all 46 - 52 at .030". 1953 ALL .028".

All 1954 spark plug gap .025". All 55-56 .035".
