NOW you KNOW why I bought the one from you for my Bud!   I was Moving....and 
he   had been using mine for years...  gggg

DWELL??  actually the TAG  on the  3 lobe unit says only 28 deg. for the 
points....gap is only approx. 0.0011"     Timing is no problem when you have the 
Sun or Allen......my eyes have been bad since birth!   LOL! [ stygmatism ]
