was told to set a mates engine up with 30 degree dwell. what is it?

It's the number of degrees that the points must remain closed to allow the flux to build up to a sufficient level in the HT coil in a battery powered ignition system.

so it dont matter in an electronic system

Correct, it doesn't matter.

thanks

Yeah it's quite easy really, wait for it.....................

Or are you talking dwell period? the amount of time/degrees the inlet port is clear of piston? as you stated 30 degrees I suspect that may be what you mean?

this also crossed my mind when i saw this post,
dwell in terms of inlet timing is the amount of time that a port is fully open and unobstructed,

I thought the 'dwell' is where the 'dwater' came from!














Sorry, i've been on the ale........... :bouncyeng:

that sounds more like it sean thanks
