vbrad511 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 "Dwell" is a term I haven't heard for years, even thought it was specific to the old "points" distributors, so I had to do quick search. Found this... (learn something new every day) http://www.useasydocs.com/theory/setdwell.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 That all depends on the coil you are running. Setting the dwell is covered in the megamanual.Somewhere between 3.0 to 3.5ms should be a safe starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stariondreams Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 stock distributor with msd blaster coil just checking to see what anyone else got mine is at 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87star Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 2.0 sounds low, I typically set them at 3.1 or so. If yours runs good at 2.0 then leave it there, if you start to get misses raise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psu_Crash Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Yes. I agree 100%Dwell time is the time that the coil charges. Longer dwell = more powerful spark, up to a certain extend. Too much dwell will oveheat your coil and too little will blow out the spark under boost. Just like you are explaining Mine currently looks like this with an Accel 4-Tower coil pack. I can probably lower my dwell but it works where it is so I don't touch it http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/838/uw1z.png Edited April 18, 2014 by psu_Crash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
