Clete, I don't like to doing this, but I've gotta disagree with Mike here. Dwell is the period of time that the points are closed. Yes, this is true. But, the dwell angle is measured at the distributor shaft and is that amount of time, measured in degrees (measured at the flat face surfaces of the cam of that distributor shaft), that the distributor shaft is not "lifting" the rubbing block of the points. Other than being mechanically driven via some of these components, it doesn't have a thing to do with valves, camshafts, crankshafts, belt pulleys, steering wheels, brake pedals, lights, steering toe-in or anything else. All dwell is interested in doing is giving the coil enough time to electrically recharge the secondary windings of that coil. It is just another way of setting point gap. Bottom line is: just set your points with a feeler gauge to the correct spec and you should be right in the ballpark. The dwell will automatically come in to the correct range. Allan
