Im trying to help out a club member solve a miss in his 41 Cadillac. What are the setting for the points, dwell, and timing. Thanks.   Rob

Points .015, dwell 31º, timing IGA. IGA mark was for premium gas in 1941 which was about 78 octane, so you may be able to advance it even more.

You might try timing with a vacuum gauge. Set timing to maximum vacuum. It worfks well for me.
