8ba Dual point distributor
Found an original Ford 8ba distributor with dual points. The tag says F.M.Co. with the numbers 7 RA-12127-0 and H/3E. I didn't think Ford made any factory dual points, I am guessing it probably has an aftermarket conversion in it. Any thoughts on this?

Re: 8ba Dual point distributor
More than likely aftermarket. I see some of these Mallory and run rite kits from time to time on eBay etc....

Re: 8ba Dual point distributor
Can you identify what it is out of by those tag numbers? I can't find those numbers in my books.

Re: 8ba Dual point distributor
That was popular thing back in the 50-60's, putting dual points in those 8BA dist. I cain't remember where thay got them, JC Whitney or something like that. I think they were ment to give the coil a little more dwell time. Walt

Re: 8ba Dual point distributor
I had one of those in a 49 Ford. Dual point conversion kit from JC Whitneys in a loadamatic. I thrrew the whole distributor down in the woods behind the barn (1962?). It's probably still there along with two Fordomatic trannies!!!
