Re: dwell meter

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

Dwell works with a point ignition.  It's the degree's the points are either open 
or closed - I think open.  Haven't used one for decades but there should be 
specs for the dwell your car requires in the service manual or a  Motor's 
manual and the like.  It's not a timing light.
