Default Re: dwell perctage

My take:

Dwell angle is defined as the amount of time the contact breaker points are closed (current flowing through the primary ignition circuit) and it is measured in degrees of distributor shaft rotation.

Dwell Percentage (or Dwell Time) is the amount of time the points are closed (time to charge capacitor) based on 0 - 100%.
