Each point should have 29* dwell angle, when set individually (block one point with a piece of cardboard or the like in order to set the other point). This should give a total dwell of 34* + or - 1*. Dwell should not change by more than 3* when the engine is revved. (From the ST-12, page 6Y-5).

Cheers,
-Brian
