I was setting my timing last night and when I went to check my dwell, it was up to 80 degrees I pulled the cap and rotor and unscrewed the adjustment nut and was able to get the dwell down to 50 degrees but wouldn't go any lower. I know that this is just at the top of the limit but I would like to have it around mid - high 40's. I messed around with it for about a hour and a half but couldn't get it past 50 degrees. The strange thing is that it was a ways away at 80 and when I brought it in closer, it dropped to 50. Shouldn't it be the father away the less of the angle and vice versa or am I mistaken? And why wouldn't the dwell drop below 50?
