Dual-point vs. Single-point distributors - pros and cons?

Points are a mechanical switch. Mechanical parts wear, need periodic adjustment and maintenance ( cleaning, lubing etc..) replacement.
Electronic ignitions= no wearing parts, unaffected by RPM, dwell is solid and on some systems adjustable.
All modern cars for the last few decades are electronic. No fuss. As with any electrical system, keep connections clean and well grounded.
