Re: Impact of low dwell
the dwell setting for the points on these engines are different depending upon the type of distributor you are using. If you are using the window type distributor, (w/ v8 point set) then the dwell is 28-32 degrees (30 degrees is best). If you are using the non window type of distributor, then 31-34 degrees is what is required. I hope this info has been helpful in answering this question. Low dwell settings cause low timing settings and can cause piston burn down if ran a long time this way.
