I have used this distributor for years with the positive ground capacitive
discharge system. Now that I have converted to negative ground, I am using a
MSD box. The points have lasted for years (I have never changed them). The
MSD
ignition instructions recommends that the lag points of a dual point
distributor be taken out. Since the system seems to be working, I am going to
leave
both sets of points in the distributor.
Another elementary question: What is the purpose of two sets of points in a
distributor?
