Re: coil questions

My only experience with dual points is on a 1963 Avanti R2. Personally I don't think they are worth the extra hassle of touchy and frequent adjustment as the only advantage I know of is to reduce "float" of the sprung breaker point arm at high RPM.

IMHO, a Petronix or similar setup with a brand new coil would be the way to go.

BTW, if you have info on prices and sources for a Petronix conversion for the 1955-6 Autolite dizzy I would appreciate it. I'm thinking of going that route on the boat motor.

Cheers,

John
