What's the purpose of 2 sets of points? I've a '78, CA street car, smog equiped and all. Although both breaker points are installed its only running on one set ... and seems to run fine. What are the disadvantages (or advantages, if any, although unlikely that): Efficiency? power? fuel consumption?

Lots of stuff already written on the BB, if you know where to look (or how to search?).

Shouldn't matter, just as long as the ignition timing was set with the one that's enabled.
