I run a Mallory dual point in my Spit FE1296 but converted to a Pertronix
after not being able to keep up with the wear on the point sets. Life is
good with the Pertronix. I would not go back to points. Using a Lucas Sport
Coil.

I am wondering why you would want to run a dual points distributor with an
MSD unit. All you need is a trgger for the MSD and one set of points is ok
for that. Personally, I converted my Spit over to a pertronix when I
startedusing the MSD. I found that it was much better (or perhaps reliable)
than using points.
Just my humble opinion.
