I had one, but since my oldest car (the El Camino) has an HEI distributor, I gave it to my dad for the VW Bug he is working on.
Set points by dwell, then set timing. I had a 1973 Yamaha RD350, 2-cylinder 2-stroke. That had 2 separate carburetors and 2 separately adjustable sets of points for dwell and timing. That was fun to tune up, but man, NEVER underestimate ANY 2-Stroke or anything with boost.
