Hello everyone I'm new here so this is my first ( of many ) question ? How do you set the twin points on the distributor as well as the timing marks and setting the dwell . thanks for all your help..... my car is a 1978 fiat spider 1800

Not complicated, but you need a timing light, dwell meter and a jumper wire for the starting points/running points relay so that you can do each one individually. If you dont have one already, get a service manual(s) as you will need it for other things as well.

Install a Pertronix module if it is available for your distributor and get rid of the contact breakers (points).
