I'm not really sure what dwell is, but I imagine its not that difficult
to look up.  So here goes.

"Number of degrees of rotation of distributor shaft during which contact
points are closed"
>From Automotive Encyclopedia, ISBN 1-56637-150-3

So, its how long the points are closed, which controls how the ignition
coil charges and collapses magnetically.  But you have DIS, so I would
imaging the principle is the same, but I'm not so sure that its quite
the same thing.

Anyone?
