That I sure couldn’t tell ya. The dual point design does work quite well on these distributors and was certainly thought out well by engineers, so I can agree I don’t understand the reasoning they didn’t go ahead and design a cam and set of points to use a single point set up. A old Ford guru once told me it was because if one set burned up the other set would get you to a garage. I find that not to be true as the timing would be WAY off and the old coils wouldn’t fire a plug at 22.5 degrees of dwell.
