Dwell

[Jeffrey Lo <Jeffrey_Lo@ccm.hf.intel.com>]

A buddy of mine at work asked me about dwell.  Specifically, does the 
angle refer to degrees of rotation of the crankshaft, or the 
distributor?  I didn't know, but remembered that someone had once posted 
a dissertation on what dwell was and how it affected your engine.  I 
didn't see this on hoosier.  Does anyone have this and/or is able to 
answer this question?

Thanks,
Jeff Lo
