I don't think that's right. One degree of dwell change = one degree of timing change.

There's a two-to-one ratio of crank degrees to distributor degrees...but one degree of dwell change = 1/2 degree points close sooner, plus 1/2 degree points open later = one degree of dwell change. 1/2 degree points open later (which it the thing that causes timing change) = one degree of timing change.

Agreed. Points open later, which retards timing.
