mopar duel point dist point set
Duel point disturbers
By morris shouse
This is an instruction set as to how to install a pair of points on mopar duel point disturbers, old style hemis, small and big blocks. First get two sets of new points. Then you need to adjust the movable point so it seats flat to the solid point. This is very important to get the points to seat flat. But be careful and bend the movable arm only between the rubbing block and the point. now clamp the shaft tang in a vice with the shaft up and down. Now remove the old points. Put the new ones in. take some cardboard and block one set open then get a feeler gauge .015 thick and 3/16 to ¼ wide and one to one and half long. It must be .015 thick, I know the spec is .017, but trust me .015 will get the total dwell angle to 42 degrees. Now put the feeler gauge in the set that doesn’t have the cardboard in. now the the idea is that one or two lobes are higher than the rest. So what we do is rotate the dist.Housing very very slowely. And adjust the set so that the gauge only falls on the highest lobes. You must put no side pressure on the housing. Its very important that the gauge falls only on the highest lobes. This may take a while, but be patient. Then move the cardboard to the other set of points, and adjust the other set. When you are done you should have 42 degrees total. Just don’t get in a hurry.
