My sequence (others may differ):
Remove & clean the plugs
Adjust the valve lash/gap
Inspect & Set the points gap (this must be done before the next step)
Set the timing (static, to be adjusted later on the road)
Install the plugs
Sync the carbs
-- All of the above can be done with a cold engine, as you sync the
carbs the engine has a chance to warm up
Adjust the mixture, mostly by ear though I have a colortune
Drive, evaluate mixture (plug color) and timing (listen for pinging).
Of course throughout you are inspecting plug wires, connections,
rotor, cap etc to confirm all looks well.
