I have been trying to set the dwell on my 1971 MB 220 (W115) gas engine for the last week. I bought a new set of points and condenser before I started. Using my dwell meter I having a terrible time getting the value to 52 degrees. My current setting is around 73 with a gap of .093. With this gap the points just barely close. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Bob
