Just as soon as the meter needle moves, this lets you know the points have broken open. This is the spot you want to be at with the S centered in the window. You should visually barely be able to see the points parted. This will have your gap set to exactly where it needs to be. The factory setting of .020 is just to get the points in a general area to where the motor will fire without proper fine tuning. Matt's procedure is a much better way and gets the points as close to perfect as you can get without using a timing light. I hope this helps some. Keep us posted.

Well said Dwayne!
