I acquired an Accurate Instrument BT-162 dwell meter but unfortunately it did not include an instruction manual. I wonder if anyone has a copy which he can kindly scan and email to me at [email protected]. Thanks.

this guy slowly pans his camera over the instructions.
not exactly what you are asking for, but it may be helpful.

For information purposes. The dwell signal sent by the original computer controlled cars before the car went into closed loop was a exactly 30 degree dwell signal. I remember checking a few dwell meters back in the 80's to see if they were accurate and working correctly. Not much instructions on dwell meter, Hook to coil- crank/run engine and read/set dwell. Set the number of cylinders was the only other thing you had to do on them.
Here's one for you. My 70 Challenger T/A had dual points. They were looking for more dwell at higher rpm but you cannot just back off the points for a longer dwell. They will not open enough and burn. They installed a second set on the opposite side of the distributor that was offset a little from 180° and wired in parallel with the first set. You put a piece of cardboard in one set of points and adjusted the other set for 30°. With both sets adjusted, the total dwell was 40°.

I was given a dual point distributor that fits the BMW 2002 engine.
I have not messed with it yet though.
(still, fun for show'n'tell)
