Ignition dwell and adjusting it.

Stopped in at oreillys and bought a nice Bosch multimeter as it has a dwell setting for 4,6 and 8 cylinder engines. My meter has a dwell setting only. So instead of chancing it, I upgraded! Also has a sweet RPM setting. Hooked it up and finally managed to set the dwell to 28. Reset the timing to 15 or so degrees and removed the carb to clean and blast the passages out. It runs MUCH better. Idles better, doesn't bog on wide open throttle and feels a bit quicker. But after tearing up some back roads and playing around I seem to have messed the trans up.... so I'll tear into that next weekend when I come home.
