Dual point distributor in '41 120

Posted by Ozstatman On 2008/4/2 4:29:06

Earlier today, Wade the mate helping me with my '41 120 Coupe, told me the distributor I had removed from the car has dual points! On checking, it was a Delco-Remy 1110811 9J19. Then followed a search of the manuals and parts books we had, which advised that '41 120's had a single point Autolite distributor. Couldn't find any mention of dual points but our reference material petered out about 46/47.

In the Chat Room later I mentioned this to Eric (Turbopackman) and although he didn't know off-hand he soon came up with an answer "1947-52 Packards 2200,2300,200,250,300 w/dist #1110811&25".

So it seems later post-war dual point distributors fit the pre-war 120 engines!

I've still got a question even though my original query was answered before it even made it to this Forum. The question being, is there any advantage to having the dual points?
