I am doing a tune up on my 83 470 Mercruiser. I will be using a dwell meter. I'm trying to understand the relationship between the gap and the dwell. If the dwell reads less than what it should be, should I apply more or less gap. And if the dwell reads more than what it should be, should I apply more or less gap. I have to remove the dist cap to make adjustments (no slide window). So I'd like to have an idea of what adjustments to make instead of just guessing. Need some help from all you engine techs out there.
