1. dwell meter settings (score: 1): Author: mgbob@juno.com (ROBERT G. HOWARD); Date: Mon, 08 Sep 1997 13:42:00 EDT; Does anyone know how to calculate dwell settings for contact breaker gap, so we can set the gap more accurately than with feeler gauges? Thanks for the advice, in advance. Bob; /html/mgs/1997-09/msg00548.html (7,270 bytes)
2. Re: dwell meter settings (score: 1): Author: Robert Allen <boballen@sky.net>; Date: Mon, 08 Sep 1997 13:20:24 -0500; Hi Bob, I'm not sure I understand the question. Setting the dwell with a dwell meter is the dynamic equivalent of setting the point gap with feeler gauges. My C/GT is set around 35 and a four banger; /html/mgs/1997-09/msg00552.html (8,880 bytes)

Re: dwell meter settings (score: 1): Author: DANMAS@aol.com; Date: Mon, 8 Sep 1997 16:02:29 -0400 (EDT); Bob: Actually, the gap setting is derived from the required dwell angle, rather than the other way around.

Re: dwell meter settings (score: 1): Author: Graham McCann <gmccann@pcug.org.au>; Date: Tue, 09 Sep 1997 08:42:32 +1000; For what it is worth the factory manual specifies the dwell at 51 degrees plus or minus 5 degrees for the MGB. What's wrong with using that? Graham 97 MGF Graham McCann Rivett, ACT. Australia gmccann; /html/mgs/1997-09/msg00585.html (7,838 bytes)

Read the 8-cylinder scale and double the reading for a four-cylinder car.
