* Points-type ignition: If the engine uses points, the gap is typically set between 0.018 and 0.022 inches. However, always consult your engine's service manual for the precise specification.
* Electronic ignition: Engines with electronic ignition systems don't use points, so the gap question is irrelevant. They utilize different components for ignition timing.
Therefore, you must refer to a repair manual specific to your 383 Dodge engine's year and model to determine the correct point gap (if applicable) or understand the ignition system's specifications.
