Are you looking at the 8 cylinder scale? That would be 1/2 the 4 cylinder
scale so you are actually at 92 degrees. Or you could use a matchbook cover
as a feeler and set the gap. The paper match itself is used to gap the
plugs. I know it works because I've done it on the side of an interstate in
Wyoming.

: The 68 MG calls for a 60 degree dwell angle, but I can only achieve 46
: degrees. When I close the point gap, the car won't start. The car
backfires, all
: plugs are sooty, and the idle is very uneven. (I have a weber
carburetor).
