points on an 82 (if original condition) should be .015 to .016. sounds like timing is still off.

1) Remove the spark plug and the points cover.
2) Rotate piston to TDC and attach a test light to ground and points arm.
3) Rotate the engine counter-clockwise beyond the point where the points close and the test light lights
4) Turn engine back slowly to the point that the test light goes out.
5) Tab on points cover should be centered on timing marks of fan housing.
