Dwell meter ? Use the tried and true feeler gauge. That's what they used looong before any dwell meter hit the street.

My shop manual does not mention dwell at all. Just point gap. Now if you went to a shop with a sun machine dwell was a consideration. Feeler guages work great on points in good condition or new. Points with wear of material transfer kind of cloud the issue but then that is what a points file was for.
