Thank you-other than telling you its off before you pop the cover I don't
see the use.  On my old GM youth, not a problem.  Just flip up the door the
cap and twist away and be careful to not get shocked and not stall the
engine.

Dave,
If you have pulled the dissy out and set the gaps, why do you
need/want a dwell meter? The only way to adjust the dwell is by
changing the points gap(s) and that has already been established as a
tad on the difficult side when the distributor is installed, which it
needs to be in order to use the dwell meter. Plus, the dwell meter has
no knowledge of which set of points needs to be adjusted, since it is
reading the cumulative results of both sets of points. That could well
be what happened to the DPO, resulting in the mess you inherited. Go
out right now and buy a distributor machine instead ;-)))
