Hey Dan, I was just looking at the factory manual again and it has 2 entries for dwell on 259/8. The first ons is 41* for a normal coil ignition.
The second is 30-36 for for a transistorized coil ignition. Transistorized coil ignition is defined as a blue coil. I have a blue coil. When will I learn to listen ;) Thanks George -------------- Original message -------------- If it's an aluminium housing the dwell should be 30 and if it's cast iron it should be around 38. 41 is OK if it runs well. This is a tricky question because you seem to have two different systems running on the same car. Dwell angle appears to be a function of the distributor model and maybe not the system used. As far as I know, aluminium 6 cylinder distributors and V8's use 30 degrees if they're running CD ignition. Dan
