[T3] Another ignition question (was: 2 condensor questions)

I have another technical question that I started to wonder about when 
working to replace the points and capacitor.

I know what happens when the points break the circuit, it triggers the 
coil to "send" the voltage to the spark plug. What I wonder about is the 
significance of the points gap, or dwell angle, which is a result of the 
points gap. In other words, what will a smaller or bigger gap cause? A 
longer duration of the spark? I just don't get this...
