1. dwell adjustment (score: 1): Author: Stephan Sochoux <sochoux@yahoo.com>; Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 10:26:43 -0700 (PDT); This is maybe an elementary question but how do you adjust the dwell without a dwell meter ? Thanks, Stephan '69 2000; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-05/msg00347.html (7,221 bytes)
2. Re: dwell adjustment (score: 1): Author: "Thomas Walter" <ra0618@email.sps.mot.com>; Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 14:25:29 -0500; You don't! Actually what you need to do it make sure the points are all the way open on the highest point on the cam lobe. Then set the point gap to 0.018" to 0.022". I usually gap them around 0.018"; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-05/msg00352.html (7,699 bytes)
3. Re: dwell adjustment (score: 1): Author: "David R. Conrad" <conrad1@gte.net>; Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 12:41:26 -1000; By setting the point gap. Supposed to be nominally .020" for an SPL-311, with a small tolerance I don't recall offhand--should get you to about the middle of the prescribed range of about 50 degrees; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-05/msg00358.html (7,793 bytes)
4. Re[2]: dwell adjustment (score: 1): Author: Fred_Katz@ci.sf.ca.us; Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 16:54:56 -0700; What are the advantages of a Pertronics? No points to wear out. Hotter spark? Consistent spark? But... I don't like the idea of not being able to adjust the dwell. I had a Pertronics electronic ignit; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-05/msg00364.html (8,953 bytes)
5. Re: dwell adjustment (score: 1): Author: "John F Sandhoff" <sandhoff@csus.edu>; Date: Tue, 10 May 1988 19:02:42 PST8PDT; Random mumblings: Dwell doesn't count (much?) with electronic ignitions. The purpose of dwell is to set up enough time for the magnetic field to build within the coil. When the points OPEN, the field; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-05/msg00374.html (8,197 bytes)
6. Re: dwell adjustment (score: 1): Author: "David R. Conrad" <conrad1@gte.net>; Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 09:42:09 -1000; There has been a lot of recent discussion on the list after I simply mentioned that I had Pertronics in the question of dwell adjustment. I think that the "list" discussion speaks for itself; that i; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-05/msg00424.html (8,325 bytes)
7. Re[2]: dwell adjustment (score: 1): Author: Fred_Katz@ci.sf.ca.us; Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 13:56:13 -0700; Maybe I'm alone in going with points over Pertronics. Perhaps if I used a hotter coil and knew how to tweak a Pertronics, the performance might come close to what I get with points.

I posted a follow up, as you should set the POINT GAP to the wide side, as they do close when the rubbing block wears down. Always remember to use a little grease on the back side of the bl; /html/datsun-roadsters/2000-05/msg01137.html (8,642 bytes)
