You'll have to set the points dead-nuts accurate, then measure your
dwell, and write it down in your manual.
My '72 manual calls out 60 degrees +/- 3 degrees for the 18G/GA/GB
engines, as well as the 18V 581F/582F/583F engines.
You may find the dwell angle referred to as the "cam closed period",
and the "cam open period" listed under DISTRIBUTOR; ie:
Cam closed period.....60* +/-3*
Cam closed period.....30* +/-3*
Did they even have dwell meters when the "A" was developed? ];-)
