I had one and never installed it, wait for electronic, do you really want to set dual points?
Not me.

 The bad thing about Mallory stuff......the module kind especially ...... is the lack of parts support. Nobody but nobody has any pieces for them except Jegs or Summit. I ran Mallory for years but had to carry spares everywhere I went. I have a Pertronix in the 40 Ford now. It is easy to convert back IF you have a problem. Yes, I have the points and condenser (old stuff I took off) in the glovebox.

modules? he said dual point. you wont need parts for them and you can only run one set of points if you want to. a safety feature for points 4x4's. fry a set in the middle of nowhere, presto! new set already in there.

Well you're looking at Dual-point distributors here. Ran dual-points for years, always was satisfied. Now I have since replaced the dual-point with a Mallory Unilite in my 302 and love it but I would still run a good working dual-point if needed. I also have never found setting them up to be too difficult. Just stick a piece of matchbook cover in one set to dissable them while you set the other points, then switch and do the same to set the other points. I wrote an article for setting dual-points in the Knowledge Base engine section if it's still there.

By the way the matchbook cover dissabling one set of points is so you can use a dwell meter to fine tune each set individually. Here is what I originally wrote for the Knowledge Base Installing a Dual-Point.

Alternative is to install Chrysler electronic components in ANY points distributor. Can keep the vintage look and get up to date tech. Probably the same result as a Petronix for much less money, ubiquitous repair parts. I am in the process of doing a photo session on a Chevy 235 6 cylinder distributor I am converting and will make the pics available to board members when done. Same procedure applies to V-8s and 4s. VERY easy to do and very cheap if you get junk yard parts!
