Dwell is the period, measured in degrees of distributor rotation, that
the points are closed. If you increase the point gap, the points will
be open for a longer period, meaning the dwell will be shorter.
For a 6 cylinder, the dwell should be on the order of 30-35 degrees; for a 4 cylinder, somewhere around 45 degrees. The factory workshop manual I have doesn't give dwell, but gives the points gap to be 0.014-0.016".
