The dwell is really only of secondary importance, and if you have any kind of electronic ignition, it is completely unimportant. You can certainly do this by setting the gap, but the electronic measurement of dwell is more accurate. It would be hard to claim that the increased accuracy is at all important, except possibly at high RPM, when the actual dwell time gets short. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
