Default Re: FE autolite distributor dwell questions

Drawing on my GM experience, I will guess that as long as the dwell is 30° or more, it should be good as far as coil saturation time goes. This particular distributor is in really good shape, no slop or wear that I could find anywhere. I cleaned and lubed all the contact areas and pivot points. That was when I noticed how the point plate moved on its pivot, and that it changed the point gap when it did. I am probably way overthinking this, but it gives me something to do and think about.
