metal transfer comes from arcing... to reduce arcing, there is a capacitor 
[condensor] installed ... with the correct size cap,, it will boost the coil 
output by creating a resonant LC circuit with the coil windings

if you have a large transfer of metal.. the condesor is in poor condition... 
and should be changed. a small amount is normal...
that metal bump makes it hard to set point "gap" with a feeler gage, and is 
better to adj with a dwell meter.

I have been suprized how the mechanical 0.016" isn't really close to the 
electrical 50 deg .. and as the electrical circuit doesn't care how far open 
the points are,, just the length of time they are open... the 50 deg dwell 
is my preference.

Also.. if you have an unknown problem with an engine... within about 3 min.. 
you can install a dwell meter, a timing light, and a vac gage,, and know 
almost instantly where most problems are...
