Setting Dwell

K.

One problem is that the tach on the Tach/Dwell meter reads differently than my Autometer inside the car. They have about a 100 RPM difference! So this is obviously going make a difference when timing the car. I decided to use the Autometer to set the idle at 750 but since the other meter is off, the dwell reading is probably not right either. O well! Will go electronic sooner or later. Thanks for the help guys!

One thing you may want to check anytime before you use the meter is to make sure it is zeroed out. With it off you can adjust the needle to zero it with the screw in the middle at the bottom.
