Dwell angle the the angle of you points opening when compared to the
angle on you lobe of the dist that breakes the points... If you cant get
a good .28-.33,  I would suggest that your points rubbing block or dist
lobe are worn down too bad.

Hi Campers,

Just what is this thing called a dwell angle?

OK, I'll back up a little......

My 64 Belv's poly started running rough at idle the past few, no maybe
the past couple of weeks.
I thought maybe a bad batch of very expensive gas but I'm through 2
tanks now and the last was a whopping 50 dollars.
I thought I'd try and do a little curbside tune-up so I pulled the cap
and rotor, nice and clean.
Checked the points, right around 015", maybe 017" but right there with
the specs (014-019).
The air cleaner is a little dirty, shook it out and turned it around.
The plugs were dirty, carbon only but I haven't taken her for a long
highway ride in a while, mostly just around town.
I cleaned them up just fine with an old toothbrush and some gas, gap is
030 so I opened it to 035.
Idle hot was about 830 and I slowed it down to 750.
The dwell angle though, I couldn't get up past 26-27 degrees and it's
supposed to be 28-33.
Should I have checked the timing?  I can't right now because I dropped
the timing light into the fan.  :P
Ka-POW!  You should have seen the cat and dog bolt!  Man, right out from
under the car (cah).
I have to get another one soon.  I will tomorrow, probably at Sears.

So what is this dwell angle telling me?  Is it advance?  It drops when I
speed the engine up.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know just what this measurement
is.
Can you guys help (and don't tell anyone)?
