Default Re: Dwell setting

Interesting that dwell isnt used more on model As .

Typically dwell (coil saturation) is the point gap x 2. So a .020 gap would usually show approx 40 degrees on the dwell meter. It could proably run 45 degrees if needed.
The neat thing about dwell is its measured as a average of the four cylinders, so one cam could be a little off and still show a good ( average) dwell setting.

I would think no matter what cam the distributor had installed the dwell setting should be stable to run correctly......
