you need a timing light. I can't say one way or another on the gap, I'm unfamiliar with pertronix systems relating to dual points (I did mine as single).
However, when I put mine in, my timing changed well over 10 degrees. that should be your problem right there. If you don't have one, get one, or borrow one, or whatever you need to do.
As far as gap goes, I can tell you how it went with my single-points. the magnet part that fits over the shaft must be a certain gap (given by the enclosed little plastic gap gauge) from the module. If this isn't how a dual points works, just ignore me.

The included plastic fealer gauge is a Piece of Cr@p. Use a feeler gauge like D.Hearne said. Once you gap it correctly it'll run smoother, double check your timing now also.
