The one of the leads (usually the red or positive) goes to the negative side of the coil (the side where the distributor wire connects) and the other lead (usually the black or negative) to any ground source.

Point setting for a 1978 super beetle?
50 degrees of dwell, plus or minus two degrees. Set them to .016", hook up your dwell meter and run the engine. If the dwell's too high, open the points gap; too low, close it down.
Where does a dwell tach hook up to set points?
This might sound confusing, but the positive lead to the dwell meter goes to the negative side of the coil -- the same side the wire to the points goes to, and the negative lead to the dwell meter goes to a good ground like an intake manifold bolt or coil bracket bolt for example. Make sure you read the dwell on the right scale for the number of cylinders the engine has, or make sure you have the meter set to the number of cylinders the engine has (depending on what kind of dwell meter you're using) or else the dwell readings and RPM readings will be wrong.
How do you set the dwell on a 350 Chevy engine?
You look at your distributor cap, on the side, there is a metal square "window". Slide that metal window up to expose the Allen head screw that allows you to adjust the dwell. hook up your dwell meter, and turn the adjustment screw. That's it! After you have adjusted it to spec, remove the adjustment tool, and close the metal window.
What is the gap for the points for a 1983 vw 1500motor?
50 degrees of dwell. You can't do the final point setting procedure with feeler gauges, because every set of points and condenser is a little different. How to set them: First set the points to .016" gap. Next, hook up your dwell meter and start the engine. With the meter set to the 4-cylinder position, see if you have 50 degrees of dwell angle on the meter. If you have more, close the points .001" and try it again. If you have less, open them up .001" and recheck. Keep doing it until the dwell angle is 50 degrees.
Can you set point gap without a dwell meter?
