No dwell meter , no problem, just make sure the points are gapped correctly and the dwell will be pretty much in ok. I recall setting points to .016 inch gap (it has been awhile, got electronic points nowdays)

all the dwell reading does is give you an electircal confirmation of your point gap. the point gap is the variable you have to play with to get the dwell right. if the gap is right, the dwell will be close enough to run fine.

for years I didn't even have a dwell meter, I instead relied on correct gap to set her up.
