Actually, dual point dizzy's DO produce a hotter spark. If you look closely ,the 2 points sets do not open and close at the same time. They are slightly off. The 1st set opens, then the 2nd set opens, later the 1st set closes and finally the 2nd set closes. The time between the the 1st set opening and the 2nd set closing is longer than a traditional single point set, allowing more time for the coil to build more secondary voltage
This is my understanding.( I may have everything backwards, though..)

Dual point dist are not really for a hotter spark. They helped eliminate point bounce and allowed better high rpm performance. All I have is a single point dist now which was the original. I'd certainly prefer the dual point. Rich Kinsley '64 Dodge Polara 4dr 318poly w/goodies ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
