Very very seldom, unless you have nothing better to do with your time! First set the point gap to .020". Then set the initial timing according to the Ford procedure in the Instruction Book. All you need is a flat screwdriver and a 1/2" wrench. As long as you keep the points gapped at .020", your timing will not change until the timing gears wear out!
