Those letters LT have come up in one other question I had a couple of months
ago (intermitant tach) that you answered. I guess I should really focus in
on it. Mine does look like it has seen better days (Moss 153-640). I am
going to try to pick one up at Motorhead today. How about the other small
braided wire attached to the plate? It looks pretty frail. Has anyone
modified this with new wire. What do you use and how do you attach it?
Solder?

The higher the dwell the smaller the gap and the longer the points are
closed. Maybe you are closing it up altogether. Set the points by gap and
then check the dwell. Once that is done you can simply recheck the dwell to
see when they need to be reset, but IMHO it makes no sense to try and set
the points on the car using dwell - all that cap off, adjust, cap on, run
engine, test dwell, switch off, cap off etc etc. If the gap is right and
the dwell is wrong it indicates either mechanical wear in the distributor or
possibly ignion LT problems.
