Dual points = double trouble. I grew up around a shop in the 1950s where my father modified Lincoln Zephyr 12 cylinder dual point distributors with two coils to run on alcohol fueled dirt track flathead Ford V8s, so that's not just the idle chatter of somebody who doesn't know any better. I'm a little crippled up from a motorcycle wreck 11 years ago, but I think I could outrun somebody who wanted to GIVE me a Mallory dual point distributor.
