I'll bet you're right about the slack, but in this case it just doesn't 
matter.  When setting point gap all you need is for the points to be at 
their max opening, i.e. on the distributor cam lobe.  Think about it a bit 
and you'll see that.  Now if you were setting ignition or cam timing you 
would be absolutely right.
