Dwell is the amount of degrees the distributor shaft/cam turns while the points are CLOSED. Which is why it is called "Dwell Angle"..


Points should be set at the min. dwell angle spec.. b/c as the gap decreases, the dwell angle increases ..so, as the points cam block wears , the points gap will decrease..
