Default Re: Purpose of dual points?

1930-pickup has it right. Dual points also extend point life a little, but are not really needed on 4 cyl. engines as they have more dwell time, by their nature, than 6 or 8 cylinder cars. (they cycle 4 times per dist. revolution compared to 8 times on an 8 cyl.)
