: I'd like to install a miniature dwell meter in my pickup to monitor point separation. Is the underlying principle of a dwell meter simply to measure the average value of the voltage across the points? Or what?

Al,
A dwell meter measures the number degrees the points are open. This is usually done by compairing the electrical signature from of the points to a precision time base in the meter, this is the simplist way I can explain without becoming too teecnickle.
