Dwell adjustment is for those distributors made impossible to set the point gap. Set the point gap to specifications, then read the dwell on your dwell meter. Its probably about half the time, 90 crank degrees on a four cylinder engine. If you see dwell wandering about in value, then you need to pay attention to the shaft bushing in the distributor.
