Stan, are you saying you remove the distributor to install points? I leave
it in and use a feeler guage. If the dwell ends up too high, I open up the
gap a little bit - or if it is too low, I close the gap a little. This
only requires removing the cap. If you really want to know the dwell on
each lobe, or difference bewtween lobes, an oscilloscope will show that.
