Marc: The advantage of dual points is the
increased dwell time allowing increased coil saturation hence a hotter spark.
They were the hot setup before electronic ignition which on a V8 can have as
much as 40 degrees of dwell. You can get about 36 to 38 degrees out of dual
points. Ernie -----Original Message----- I
tore apart a 1960 and a 1963 distributor and carefully examined them both
for any differences. The only difference I found was the shorter shaft on the
63 but it was easier to find parts for. So I cannibalized and now have a 63
distributor that fits very well in my 60. Now to
my Question! Is there any advantages of a dual point system over the
single point distributor? I have 2 dual point distributors in my hands And
I am sure I can get them to work but if I won't gain any more
performance or any other benefits, then I wont bother. I have heard all the
arguments about originality and about electronic ignitions. thats another
topic. I just want to know the advantages and disadvantages between dual
and single point systems. Thanks in advance . Marc 1960
