Hey t walgamuth,

Not sure what you mean by setting the points with a dwell meter, but the meter is used to see what the dwell is.

Dwell is the lenght of time the points are open while the engine is running.

This is done by trial and error until you get it just right. It's taken me anywhere from 2-45 minutes.

New points should be set to the maximum range so they last the longest. In your case 41'
