Not TR, but dwell angle


Recommended Posts

Sorry its not a TR question,  but what sort of dwell angle should I see with a distributor with points with a points gap of 0.014" - 0.016"? with 4 cylinder engine.

I see some quote dwell with points closed and some with points open, my old meter doesn't distinguish this, would I be right in thinking it should be about 60 - 65 degrees dwell?
