Hi Guys,
I have a 2ltr Pinto running on points. Does anyone know what the dwell angle should be?
Any help appreciated.

dwell angle = 48 - 52 degrees
static timing
1.6 litre - 6-8 degrees Before top dead centre (BTDC)
2.0 litre - 4 degrees BTDC.
Find a sierra engine with electronic ign and grab the distributor and electronic ign module from it.
