Hello everyone I installed a Petronics Elec ignition. Car runs good and I timed it OK with a strobe light; but when I check the Dwell (percent value) it reads 69% while my Haynes Manual says it should read 49-55%. I tried changed the gap between the magnet and the module but it made no difference. Is it ok to leave it at the 69% setting? Thanks, Joe
