Yes; Dual points are a 'pain' W/O a "distributor machine" and seldom used like I stated.

Points rarely need adjustment/service if put in right to start off. They worked just fine from 1937 till the EPA forced the other system on us, around 1975.

Newer is NOT always better.

The HEI systems are expensive and unessary for lower compression engines. There fine for:

1) Commercial vehicles (high driven miles).

2) Operating in 'freezing' climates.

3) High RPM operations (racing).

4) Required for SMOG.

52HT;

The "electronic conversions" arn't as expensive and work well too, many like them because; there's rarely/never an internal adjustment required, just set the timing.

Glad your happy with yours.

It's the age old question; "which is better, belts or suspenders"??

Happy trails. \:\)

PS: I (generaly)don't make conversions of ANY kind. If you buy a 52 Chevrolet from me, It's a 1952.
