Chev 350's haven't used points for a long time. If you have an older one, just put the new points in place & reassemble the distributor, then, with the engine running, open the little window and use an Allen wrench to adjust the dwell. Of course, that means that you will need a dwell/tach.
Newer Chev 350's don't have points.
Correct dwell would be 30 degrees.
attach a dwell meter and set the points for 30 degrees.
Use a dwell meter to set the gap at 30 degrees.
When set properly, the gap would probably be about .018". The correct way to set the points would be to hook up a dwell meter and adjust the points for 30 degrees dwell.

Yes.
Hook up a dwell meter and turn the 1/8" hex screw on the point set to achieve 30 degrees dwell. (Engine running)
