I use .035" but have had it as high as .045". My distributor issues were related to the Pertronix which was out of phase and shooting sparks at the distributor cap clamps. Make sure the rotor is pointed at the tower when the spark fires. As your engine speed increases, the mechanical advance changes the position on the rotor that is closest to the tower which could cause problems only in a certain rpm range.
All of these things can be controlled by adjusting the position of the Pertronix.
It's nice to have the engine fire on the first turn of the crank!
