A few years ago in an issue of the VTR magazine there were copies of service 
manuals dealing with emmisions.  The dwell setting for the TR4 and TR4A was 
listed at 60 degrees (+/- 3).  I always ran my TR4A at 60 and it seemed to work 
out well.

  Setting the breaker points' gap accurately is a little tricky, especially 
for not-new contacts that exhibit pitting / build up. I have read that 
correcting dwell angle is more accurate than setting points oin this way.

What would be the correct dwell angle for a TR4? 

While I have found multiple references for a TR6 at 35 degrees (+/- 3 
degrees). I found one reference to TR4, at 60 degrees(+/- 3 degrees) on a 
website I have no reason to trust.

Could someone please confirm?

Many thanks,

Brian
