Hi Warren, I have had my car with the Ford FOMOCO dual point in it for almost 38 years (it was in the car when I bought it) I had it serviced back in 1990, my friend put new bearings in at that time, cleaned it up and checked the springs and weights. It has run flawlessly since. I’ve changed the points a few times which probably didn’t need it, but I have, and as far as reliability goes .....no problem what so ever. I drive my car in the city and on the highway. I guess people can have problems with just about anything, if they take it to a guy and he say’s “let me have a crack at that” or “ I’ve never done one before, can’t be too hard”, then maybe he’s not your man. It’s getting a little tougher to find the skill set to work on things I’m unfamiliar with, but they are out there. When ever someone has worn out components like brake boosters, carburetors, alternators, starters, distributors etc; they are amazed that when they buy a new one it works much better. If you have them serviced correctly you would find the same result. I’m just fine with points😉 You will find the dual point available back in the day included in the LAT 20 Hi Performance Camshaft Kit.
