Does the dwell keep changing or do you mean the timing keeps changing...

If it's dwell. Ya could have loose points, or a smoked dizzy top or bottom shaft bearing or the points plate is moving around off axis...

Anyway.. Dats what I thunk....

As your points wear, the dwell constantly changes. Which in turn changes your timing. that is why you set your dwell first, then timing

Seems like I am futzing with mine quite a bit too. I think at 3 or 6k intervals is the specified maintenance points. If you are goofing around with it that much, switch to an electronic gizmo and dump the points. Your dwell will not change and your timing should stay on the mark for a long, long time.

If you have a worn distributor points cam, I think the optical (crane)replacement alleviates that.

my dwell meter dropped on the floor and no worky no mo', I guess that is a good enough excuse to go electronic rather than buying another meter.
