Changing points with new set now truck will not start at all. I have dwell meter to check new set but truck will start. Put old set back in fired up but it needs tune up. Any way to set without gauge to get it started . I tried 2 different new sets I have neither worked. thanks terry

It's not right, but I always used a match book cover.

My General Lee still has points and I keep a set of point and match book in the glovebox.

Going to make sure I carry matchbox and points from now on just in case.
