I'll drill it for a .125" roll pin and get on with it. I'm thinking of taking one of the sets of points out (they are new) so I'd have a spare set. I can't imagine a few extra degrees of dwell doing any good on this low RPM engine?

I agree. With a modern coil you're going to have plenty of spark energy to light up the fire in the flathead. The dual points were good for the old lower-output coils.
