67 Distributor-What is it?
its an 8 lobe which has no gain over a single point. The 4 lobe distributors allowed for higher RPM's with out point float and that is not one..
This just simply "ain't true." Whether due to better bushings or the iron case, the dual points held up much better than the single point dist's in terms of shaft/ bushing wear
They had a better pivot system on the advance plate which helped stabilize timing
It is NOT true that there is no advantage to an 8 lobe over a 4 lobe. An 8 lobe dual point has a sizeable advantage over a single point, because the points are only doing "half the work." Because neither has to open as far, they tend not to bounce, and because of the overlapping action, can be setup more accurately.
This is ESPECIALLY true when comparing the Mopar dual points with a Mopar single point which, quite simply, is a REAL shitty design.--as opposed to sticking a dual plate in an already fair design, like some GM dist.
I agree that going electronic might just be the better route, but I seem to remember in the back of my foggy old mind that SOME of us ACTUALLY used to be able to drive thousands of miles down the road---using points igniton.
