[DeTomaso] How would one set dual points on a stock distributor?

[Asa Jay Laughton]

It's really a pain in the rear.  Last time I did it, I got it "close 
enough" with a feeler gauge.  It took patience, putting up with pressure 
points as I lay across the engine trying to carefully get it right.  One 
trick is to rotate the shaft so you make sure the peak of the bump is 
where the greatest gap is when using the feeler gauge.  Then it was all 
down to timing.

By the way, it ran a lot better with the new points.  The old ones were 
way burned up.

Today, I put in the Pertronix Ignitor III module.  I'll probably fire it 
up tomorrow.
