250SL Gearbox problem

James, a small dwell reading would mean that the points gap is too large, and vice versa !

Usually when the points block wears down the gap closes up !

Thanks Ben,
Thought I had it right.
Still think it is worth checking.

Thanks Gents. Things are in motion for new points & plugs. One final question -- would a symptom of points/timing be a bit of a deep gutteral knock heard -- especially at say 3000RPM. I think I hear something like a rumble -- thought it might be an exhaust leak -- but maybe its the engine telling me something?
