Is there some latitude in the setting or does it need to be fairly exact?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If so, I may need to readjust. Thanks, Joe |

If the dwell is holding, then I'd leave it.

Pertronixs uses a Hall effect sensor, if the gap is too large the magnetic pulse will be too weak for the sensor to read, leading to misfires. Even though the electronic pointless module holds perfect dwell, I suspect if the gap is too large, large enough to cause random misfires, the dwell meter would reflect this. |
