Guest imouttahere Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 So if you were going to check your point gap on a DB with the Northeast Electric Co. distributor, what should the reading be in degrees on a dwell meter?The same as any other 4-cylinder car?

nearchoclatetown Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I would think if you found specs for another 4 cylinder with a .020 point gap the dwell reading should be the same. Why not just use a feeler gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hchris Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yesiree dwell is all about how long the points are closed before the cam moves to open them again which of course will be influenced by how much gap you make.Small gap - points open late close early - large dwellLarge gap - well you can work it outch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imouttahere Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 "dwell is all about how long the points are closed before the cam moves to open them again"Yes, I know that. I just want to double-check the point gap with the engine running.Anybody know the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
