My advice would be to set the points at .020" with a feeler gage to get the engine running, and then use a dwell meter to set the dwell after the engine is running.

Where does a dwell tach hook up to set points?
This might sound confusing, but the positive lead to the dwell meter goes to the negative side of the coil -- the same side the wire to the points goes to, and the negative lead to the dwell meter goes to a good ground like an intake manifold bolt or coil bracket bolt for example. Make sure you read the dwell on the right scale for the number of cylinders the engine has, or make sure you have the meter set to the number of cylinders the engine has (depending on what kind of dwell meter you're using) or else the dwell readings and RPM readings will be wrong.
How do you set the points on a 350 Chevy?
Chev 350's haven't used points for a long time. If you have an older one, just put the new points in place & reassemble the distributor, then, with the engine running, open the little window and use an Allen wrench to adjust the dwell. Of course, that means that you will need a dwell/tach. Newer Chev 350's don't have points. Correct dwell would be 30 degrees.
