Old Accel Dual Point Questions Again.

[cudaken]

  Does anyone here have the specks for a Accel Dual Point and how does the Mechanical Advances work.

1 What should the gap be set with a feeler gauge?

2 What should the dwell be on 1 set of points

3 What should the dwell be when it is running on both sets of points.

4 I have tried looking on U Tube and the only thing I could find was how to set up a Mallory Dual point. In that video the guy said only 1 set of points should be open at the same time? Right now, both my points are open at the same time, is that right? 

Now the question I am embarrassed to ask! How does the Mechanical Advances work? I know there are weights and springs, the far the weights move out from the shaft the more advances the timing become! But how?  Does the plate that hold the points move?

And as hard as it is to believe, I have never taken a distributor apart?  :shruggy:Any tips? 

Funny thing is I have rebuilt engines, pulled heads, changed cams, pulled engines, rear ends, transmissions, replaced frame rails, quarters and just about anything I missed! But all wise had the Local Speed Shops set up the distributors?   

Sure hope someone can help me on this.

Ken, asking dumb ass questions again.
