Whoops sorry missed this. No there are 4 lobes as per usual. The point about it is that the 2 sets of points are offset to one another. Therefore one set of points effectively breaks the connection, the other makes it. I can't for the life of me remember whether it makes the dwell angle bigger or smaller. The real reason I use the Mallory is because it allows easy adjustment of full advance. With a hot cam a bit of extra advance at idle will make the engine idle smoother. If you do this with the Bosch dizzy you end up with dangerous levels of full advance.


Regards


Pete
