Eureka Jim 'Bolter E Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 250 Pahoa, Hiwaii	I'm helping a friend with his newly installed GMC 302 in his '38 Chevy pickup. The point gap spec is .020 but I can't find the corresponding dwell setting. I'm thinking there must be a way to compute the dwell value but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a formula we can use or have the correct dwell?
