To find the correct point gap, you MUST consult your owner's manual. This manual will give you the precise specification for your Jeep's ignition system.
If you don't have the owner's manual, you could try:
* A Jeep CJ5 parts catalog from 1973: These sometimes list specifications.
* Online forums dedicated to classic Jeeps: Owners and enthusiasts there might have the information.
* A reliable Jeep mechanic: They'll have access to resources and likely know the correct gap.
Generally, point gaps for older vehicles are in the range of 0.016" to 0.022" (0.4 to 0.56 mm). However, *this is just a general range, and it is NOT a guaranteed value for your specific 1973 Jeep CJ5.* Using the wrong gap will negatively impact engine performance and reliability. Always use the manufacturer's specified gap.
