Dwell Angle
If the point gap is accurately set, the dwell angle will automatically be within acceptable operational limits, if the distributor is in good mechanical condition.
Generally, for point type distributors with no published dwell angle, look for a dwell angle of 60 degrees (plus or minus 3) on four cylinder engines, and 35 degrees (plus or minus 3) on six cylinder engines.
