Point gap is fine there. A closer gap gives more dwell time. As long as your static timing has the points opening at the F mark and the gap is correct, you are good.

As for sync, it is not hard but is time consuming.
First, you need and aux tank or a shelf and long fuel line for your current tank.
Then remove the caps on the tops of 1,3, & 4. #2 is your baseline carb and non-adjustable.
There are 4 small brass screws that will be removed, the brass nozzles will be screwed in here and the meter will attach to these.
Put a fan in front of the engine to keep it cool while you do this.
I forgot, run the bike for a while to get it up to normal temp.

From there, it is all about getting the sync as close as you can.
get the service manual, you can use the 78 manual for most everything for the 77.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
