[T3] Timing

["Gary Gamboa" <gary_gamboa@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>I was tuning my car yesterday and noticed that it seemed to idle
smoother with a higher dwell, 55. I reset it to 52. With the range
for used points so wide, 16 degrees, is this just a process of finding
where it runs best for my particular car?

Here's are my current settings:

Battery Amp: 13.3 V
Dwell: 52
RPM: 950
Timing: 0 TDC

My timing hole has been elongated by PO's usning a screwdriver
to move the flywheel, I assume, so I lined up the first timing mark
where I guessed is the center of the hole.

Can anyone give me a measurements of an unmolested opening, so I
can "refabricate" with tape to get an accurate reading?
