Hi there,

Dwell would be 29-30 degrees. Timing I am having trouble finding, but all the Oldsmobile specs I can find for 1965 lists it for 7.5 degrees BTDC. I have some old manuals in storage I can check tomorrow just to be safe, hopefully the tune up section of those old manuals hasn't fallen apart yet!
