Thanks LadaTrouble. Do those points setups have overlap between the two sets as well?
And it sounds like you're saying this setup works because it is actually a waste spark setup?

Thanks Hemi. Yea, the distributors run directly off the back of the intake camshafts for speed of half of the crankshaft and the cap has 6 contacts.
The 2 banks are 60deg apart.
In this case each distributor is running an inline 6cyl firing at 120 intervals. However, since it is synchronized with a second bank of the same configuration, it alternates firing bewtween the 2 banks. A colleague has told me it works because each both points fire in sequence at all times like...
Typically a distributor has a lobe for each cylinder, correct? So how does the distributor fire all the cylinders with half as many lobes? What is the action which creates this ability?
Thank you for the links! I had read the MGA Guru piece previously but hadnt seen the 2nd document. Very...
Dear Engineers, first my apologies for my utter lack of electrical principles understandings. Second, I'd like to properly understand how a dual points distributor where both points are wired to a single condenser and regular coil and also have a moment of overlap where both are open for a few...
