Distributor: what is dwell angle on Dwell meter with original vs New "B" cams?
Bill Stipe,
In the "Sputter at high speed" thread you mention 9 degrees more dwell with your new distributor cam. When I adjust distributor points for 0.020 I get a dwell reading of 44 degrees. I am not sure if the distributor cam is stock or if a new style Stipe "B" distributor cam. But I think it is the new one. From many years ago with stock A cams ... I seem to remember the Dwell Meter reading about 35 degrees. Would 35 degrees be correct for stock cam and 44 for the new one? Thanks Last edited by Benson; 04-17-2017 at 12:10 PM. |

Your points dwell numbers sound right for the A and B cams.

I have this in my notes:
The B cam gives longer dwell time than the A cam. With a point gap of 20 mils (.020 inches), the A cam dwell was 32 degrees and the B cam was 43 degrees.
