I borrowed an old dwell meter (Craftsman 80's vintage, but looks new!) and put it on my car to measure dwell. BUT, I have a Pertronix electronic ignition. I'm wondering if it's even necessary or gives a proper reading?
Car has been hard to start and doesn't run 100% smoothly, so I'm exploring various causes. And having fun learning about all this. The dwell reading was 59 degrees (at idle and at about 2,500, engine was not hot), by the way. |
