Yes to setting the points to .020" first.
Then once the timing is set correctly counting for the backlash, there should a big difference between full retard and full advance. Full retard should allow for a low idle speed and the timing will sound late as it should. 1/2 advance will/should have a nice slightly faster idle speed. Full advance the engine idle speed should start to 'roll' a bit.
