: I put my tack on my 1946 Farmall M and it has dwell on the tack as well as the R.P.M.. What is dwell, how do you read it,what does it mean, how do you understand what it means and fix if the dwell is not right?
: thanks Terry
Dwell measures the number of degrees of rotation that the points in the ignition are closed to allow the magnetic field to build up in the coil. for a 4 cylinder engine it should be about 52 degrees and a six cylinder should be about 35 degrees
hope this helps
