This print the degree wheel pic and tape or glue it to your pulley, file a notch in the pully to indicate the correct location to set the dwell.

I agree that spring loaded point set with a window on the cap was brilliant! Made it a 10 second instead of 15 minute job. More accurate, too.

Takes me about 30 seconds to set the dwell.

Please pardon my ignorance... but on ANY VW distributor the dwell is set by the points gap? It isn't another screw somewhere that needs adjusted???

Using an 010 at the mo... but it is running real nasty.
