It's the points gap that sets the dwell angle, not the plug gap.

Absolutely.  The dwell angle (or period through which the points remain closed) is fixed by the points adjustment.  The sparking plug gap has no influence on this; although the size of the gap will have an effect on performance.  Too big and a mis fire will occur; too small and the spark will be weak.  

What you are aiming for is the "Goldilocks" setting. Big Grin
