Any Advantage to Having a Dual Point Distributor for Daily Driver?

RustyRatRod said

Reviving this thread with a kwesshun or two. I am converting a slant six distributor to dual point. So, when I set dwell, do I half the total (45 degrees) and set each set to half that or do I set each set to 45 degrees which is the correct slant six single point spec?

This may be a dilemma. I'm fairly certain that the cam is different (ramps) between single and dual point I'd be tempted to say set them at original spec

Too wide a gap can cause point bounce. To close a gap will cause points burning because they don't pop open as fast on the cam "ramp" In this case of course bounce would be the end you are worried about. "Might take some playing" lol
