<VV> Dwell setting on 65 manual 140 engine

[FrankDuVal]

Shop manual has the information. A copy can be found here:

Timing does not care what triggers spark, points or electronic pickup.

All Corvairs with points (and also most any GM 6) 31 to 34° dwell.

140 manual 16 to 20 ° BTC

Interesting, the 1965 shop manual has no specs for 140 automatic?????
