Is there something in this Djet setup that would prevent using a dwell meter?
I think I ended up setting points at .014?? |
Make sure the distributor goes back where it was if you pull it!
I think the 0.014 is what I used to use too for the points.
To connect the dwell meter, you connect from the green wire terminal to ground. Or so the picture I took tells me! I have an old dwell meter too. It is also supposed to read rpm, but I never got that to work on the D-Jet setup.
Seriously, for under $100 install a Pertronix. It eliminates one variable. I use it with the MB switchbox. Someday I will by-pass that too.
