[Healeys] dwell

[Bob Haskell]

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".

Cheers,
