Oxygen Sensor

["Chris C" <petleech@xxxx>]

We are checking the operation of our oxygen sensor using a dwell 
meter as described in the manual. The dwell meter we have has ranges 
for six and eight cylinder engines. Inasmuch as this meter was 
designed for setting old fashioned point ignition do we need to use a 
multiplier on the guage reading to get an accurate dwell angle for 
the Lambda system? With the car warm, on the eight cylinder scale we 
are getting readings of 10-12 degrees. We understand the normal 
reading should be 35-45 degrees.
