Dwell and HEI's

[bamcknig at postoffice.syspac.com]

Why all the concern about dwell?
My understanding:
If there is too much, the coil gets hot and maybe burns up.
If there is not enough, you get a weak spark.

Gm  uses the same module - reluctor coil- Hi voltage coil etc. on 
both their 4 and 8cyl vehicles.  Over a very wide rpm range. 

Is anybody out there having a problem with dwell?

I suggest not unless they are running a v-12 at very high rpm.

Tkhat was one of the problems solved by electronic ignitions that 
seemed almost impossible to economically solve with mechanical 
points.
