To set the dwell on a 1968 Chevrolet 327 engine, you'll need a dwell meter. First, connect the dwell meter leads to the ignition coil's negative terminal and ground. Start the engine and let it warm up, then check the dwell reading. Adjust the points gap using a feeler gauge to achieve the desired dwell angle, typically around 30-32 degrees for the 327, by loosening the points screw and repositioning the points as needed.
