good work dude, sometimes the only way of figuring something out is just diving in and giving it a go.
the way to adjust the correct gap is the get the points on the opening position. to do this, rotate the engine until you can see one of the lobes on the dizzy shaft push the points open to their max position.
then you need to loosen that flat head screw and adjust the gap to 0.45mm as jonny has said.
tighten the screw, refit the cap, then you can set the timing using a timing light.
then go for a drive!
