I always found it easier to just pull the distributor from the car (leaving the pinch bolt tight and just removing the bolt that anchors the distro into the block) and take it to the bench where you can more easily connect the ohm meter between LH/center and then RH/center. Observe approximately how many degrees of distributor shaft rotation (dwell) you see on the ohm meter. It's not real critical, but I always went for about 180 deg of closed on each set of points because....... well, just because. Of course you have to remove the points and bend the static side of each contact and re-install (trial and error) until you get the dwell you desire.

Then when you re-install the distributor you shouldn't have to re-time the ignition, since you didn't loosen the pinch bolt.
