327 Dwell

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get a 67 camaro (327 4bbl) that I just bought tuned as it has a few issues I'm trying to correct.
The car had a really strong gas smell and also bogged when accelerating. I replaced the carb with a new one(rebuilt) and solved the gas smell (leak in fuel line at carb)
adjusted carb and reset timing, still has a very slight hesitation occasionally when accelerating but runs alot better now. Anyone know the dwell setting for this ? I will eventually switch to pertronix but I'd like to get it running properly for now.

Thanks

Factory dist dwell setting is 28-32 degrees. Re-check the timing after setting the dwell. Also make sure the vac advance is working too.
