Clete, The only bit of info I don't see is that with a new set of points, the feeler gauge will almost always put the dwell setting on the money. As points wear, the time the two sides "dwell" together will change as there's less point material, or angled surfaces, worn lobe on the points, etc. Somebody mentioned old dwell / rpm meters sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I've got one of those -- will sell it to your real cheap. But you'd save yourself a lot of money by just replacing points on a regular basis and forgetting about dwell tachs. The only engine I ever worked on that was easy to set dwell had a Delco distributor with the "window" that let you adjust dwell with an allen wrench. Every other kind of distributor makes setting dwell a pain. Don't worry about it, just install new points -- you'll be money ahead.
