Distributors....was points

[Butch Edison <waedison1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm reading this thread with a lot of interest. My original Sport Fury had a
dual point distributor, which was supposed to deliver a hotter spark than a
single point distributor. I had no problems with it for the 80,000 miles I
put on that car. Is there a noticeable difference between a single and dual
point distributor for these BB motors? Any comments of performance,
maintenance, would be appreciated.

Thanks/ Butch / Ferndale, WA

Remember we only have an ammeter and it shows charge most of the time. 
It was dramatic though when I turned the light switch for the dome light and
the car started stumbling/missing very badly. It took it 30secs to clear up
after I shut that off. I had blown the dash light fuse also a couple weeks
ago. I do have issues there.

I do have a voltmeter. Maybe I should attach it to the ign box input side to
see what it really gets. I can re-install my original single point dist but
it needs some TLC and I can't find the leads for my dwell meter. My step-son
borrowed it. Need I say more? I'll see what I can do.
