240z twin spark?

I had a phone call yesterday from someone asking if I had a spare 240z distributor (which I'm delivering today) as he wanted to replace the twin spark unit that is currently in the car. From what I gather, it is an original unit that was fitted to late auto 240z's. It has 2 sets of points inside. I don't know a lot more about it but will take a closer look today.

Anyone have any info about it?

Most likely a Hitachi D614, as fitted to most Auto trans models.

'Dual Points' rather than 'Twin Spark'. Performance reducing, rather than enhancing.

Thanks Alan. I've since found one on an engine under my bench. It's one of those things that probably sounded like a good idea at the time. I ended up swapping the 240z distributor off my silver car for his dual points one as I'm only using the HT side of mine.
