Dwell is the period, measured in degrees of distributor rotation, that the points are closed. If you increase the point gap, the points will be open for a longer period, meaning the dwell will be shorter.

For a 6 cylinder, the dwell should be on the order of 30-35 degrees; for a 4 cylinder, somewhere around 45 degrees.

The factory workshop manual I have doesn't give dwell, but gives the points gap to be 0.014-0.016".

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
