Here is a video of someone cleaning points. What you should see behind your distributor cap should be similar. They never exactly point out that the contacts of the points are the round parts on the right of the arm he moves with his screwdriver. Old has suggested using a point file which is ideal but the sandpaper will work. If you use sandpaper it will be important to take a piece of a business card or cereal box to pull between them after the sandpaper to make sure there is no grit between them. Also if the gap when the points are at the position they open the farthest is about the thickness of a dime they are probably set close enough. Also another thing to clarify, old is talking about a ..rotor clip.. that is a thin metal springy device that may be on the end of the distributor shaft or inside the rotor where it mounts on the shaft to help the rotor to mount tightly. He is just making sure you are aware of it and not to lose it. As he has suggested it may need to come off to allow the dust cap under the distributor cap to be removed to access the points.
