Dwell is 49 at idle, jumps to 50 just off idle and goes all the way to 53 at full advance (3500 rpms), advance and retard hoses were hooked up for dwell check, I know to unhook them for timing. Is that right, or do I need to unhook them for dwell, as well.

Possible dizzy advacing plate issue?

Car has a miss at 3kish, I'm trying to squash.



Stock 74 2.0 djet. timing is set at 29.

Worn out breaker plate. The condenser, BTW, cannot and does not have anything to do with dwell.

Thanks Cap'n, just got off the phone with my local wrench and that was what he said as well.

Are they still available? Or do I need to start looking for a used dizzy

Also, in the short term should I lower the dwell to 45ish, so when it jumps it stays in range, will that help?
