[Fot] Mallory dual point trouble-shooting

[Bill Babcock]

It shouldn't matter. All the second set of points does is extend the
dwell time, which is the time that the points are closed and the coil
has current running through it-saturating it in preparation for making
a spark. They have no effect on timing since they open before the
primary set opens and they are in parallel with the primary set.
