Hey all, I am going down to pick up a compression gauge and some new plugs while i am at it. Should they be gapped and if so, how much? thanks =) -Annette

When I had points I had the same problem as the dwell was not in spec when I set the points to the correct gap. I read that dwell was more important than the gap and you should go for the correct dw

The dwell is direct effected by the point gap. It's the measurement (in degrees of rotation) of how long the points are closed. The smaller the gap, the longer (or greater) the dwell, the larger the

Gapping plugs is very easy. Buy the $4.00 tool when you buy the plugs. On the NOWROC site under the FAQ section there is info on the type of plugs and the gap suggested. http://www.nowroc.com/Webpage

Breakerless ignition is fine for some, but I don't like them. The "classic" setup gives you more control over dwell. I would recommend the breakerless ignition for those trying to adjust and fix a si

And don't forget to unhook the battery if you're sticking a metal gauge between the points, it's quite an electrifying experience ;) Stephan Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://pers

Or you can pull the supply wire from the clip on the distributor (that has a lead wire to the ignition points). I can't remember if it was Calspeed or someone else, used some substitute for a gauge.

After your reply I started going over the theory behind ignition points, in my head. Then I realized that our cars use a ballast resistor to cut the 12v power down after the engine starts. To like 6
