i got a '74 ford 302 in a f100, couldnt get it runnin for over 5 sec so i inspected the points and they were pitted so i took some light sand paper and made em shiny again, it will run now but i cannot set the damned dwell, i set it with a matchbook it runs good but dwell meter shows 12-15, i know the meter works cause i used it previously on my buddys truck. even if i set the gap of the points like 2x than what they should be the dwell stays 12-15, sometimes drops to 10. could it be the distributor? bought a new one from schmucks...but i think it may have went bad. any input would be nice thanks guys
