Dual point distributor info, not necessarily Packard related. I spent many years dealing with dual points but they were all related to high performance applications.The theory was more dwell time equals a hotter spark. One set of points would close and begin the coil saturation phase and the second set would close a fraction later. Then, the first set would open but the spark would only occur after the second set of points opened. Thus the total dwell time was increased. I can't visualize how two sets of points could fire different cylinders. Bob
