I seem to recall from the old gas station days that dwell angle was always
60% closed regardless of the number of cylinders. Thus, for a four cylinder
engine, with 90 degrees per revolution of the rotor it came out to 54 degrees -
plus or minus. With six cylinders, it was 36 degrees (60% of 60 degrees)
etc. Some dwell meters measured in percentage. Maybe that was too coarse a
setting but it seemed to work well back in the 60's.
