Which way to rich-ness?

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

Higher dwell is richer for a given setting. Dwell on a cold engine is 80 
IIRC. That's an indication.
That doesn't mean that you adjust the setting for a higher dwell to make it 
richer though. As Cathy points out, righty=>richy.
i.e. if the thing is running closed loop and you adjust it rich, it'll try 
to lean out the mixture back to stoichiometric so the dwell will go down to 
correct.
Make sense?
