Also -  the test connector is near one of the strut
towers?  I watched Gary do  this once.  Hum - I think
he disonnected a temp sensor at the front of  cyl head
also.

Is this in one of the 1st docs?  DOn't mean to  be so
lazy  research wise but I'm in a time crunch.

I was going  to buy a meter with dwell - and will  if
necessary.

I'm not an electronic whiz-bang, but why do you want to check your  "dwell"?
This is not a breaker point ignition where gap sets dwell, so I don't think  
you can measure it or set it. The timing and other ignition specs are handled 
by  the ECU and read from the hall sender in the distributor.
 
Or am I all wet? 

The shock tower connector you refer to is for the duty cycle reading, which  
is set/adjusted by the 3mm allan screw buried in between the fuel distributor  
and the intake igloo.
