The only thing I can think of that might cause the dwell to be correct and
the gap to be wrong is slop in the distributor shaft or the wrong set of
points.  If the dwell is correct and the car runs well, I wouldn't lose any
sleep over it.

Dear List,

I was checking out the dwell on my 67.5 1600 last night.  It
seems that with the points gapped to .021", the dwell was around
34 degrees.  To get the dwell to 50 degrees, the gap was around
.015".  From reading other posts, I should rely on the dwell, not
the gap, correct?  Does this discrepency mean anything?

Thanks again...Robert - 67.5 1600 - ABQ
