[Fot] Mallory dual point trouble-shooting

[Joe Curry]

I am wondering why you would want to run a dual points distributor with an
MSD unit.  All you need is a trgger for the MSD and one set of points is ok
for that.  Personally, I converted my Spit over to a pertronix when I
startedusing the MSD.  I found that it was much better (or perhaps reliable)
than using points.

Just my humble opinion.
