None of this single points crap
Well, maybe so, but back in my day (before OHV V-8s) and engines running less that 4,000 rpm, a single set of points gave the coil plenty of time to come back up to speed.

However, back then, if one had an alcohol fueled flathead Ford V-8, they could fire it up with a coil and distributor from a Lincoln V-12, to get some extra spark kick.

Sometimes that only worked "once" per engine -
