Default Dwell angle

Hello folks, after a little bit of advice thanks. I have a series 2, 4.2 and the manual gives a points gap of 0.014 - 0.016 inches. My question is what dwell angle does this equate to please.
Thanks in advance

Have not thought of dwell angle in decades. If no one comes up with the answer you might have to set it carefully, double check it, and then take your own dwell reading and use that going forward.

Dwell angle is 35 degrees. Not many have a meter capable of reading dwell these days.
