I guess I wm just in awe at anyone would spend the big bucks for
obsolete technology like dual point distributors when there are other
less expensive and more reliable alternatives!

Well my Mallory dual point distributor finally arrived today after being
back ordered since February from more than one source. So I go to put
that
sucker in tonight and it has me totally confused. If I look at my stock
distributor when the rotor is pointing directly at the number one cap
terminal the points are closed and are in the center of the flat dwell
area
of the distributor cam. When I take my new distributor and place the
rotor
pointing directly at the number one cap terminal the points are fully
open
and on the lobe of the distributor cam. TOTALLY OPOSITE. I have looked
at
this for the last hour thinking that I am missing something and looking
at
it backwards but NO THATS REALY THE WAY IT IS. There is no adjustment.
So,
can somebody that knows more about this sort of thing than me explain
what
the heck is going on here?
Help me, I want to go autoxing Monday:-)
