    As well as what has been posted here.....
    Remember...
    As gap increases, dwell decreases (and vice versa).
    Always use a small dab of cam lube on the rubbing block.
    If you leave the rubbing block dry, it will wear faster.
    Always use the dwell meter.
    Always set the dwell to the lower number in the acceptable range.
    That way, as the rubbing block wears, the gap will decrease, and the dwell will increase.
    So... The dwell will increase 'through' the acceptable range, and your tune-up will last longer.
    If your condenser is good, your points will wear way slower than the rubbing block will wear.
    So... If you ignore the gap, and set the points to get the right dwell reading, you will be right on...every time.
    You will also get good at popping off the cap to adjust the points.
    This is Stude ownership 101 and should become second nature.

      The window distributors were only used on Studebaker's V-8 models. There should be a tag on the distributor telling you if it is a Prestolite or a Delco.
