O Reilly's gave me two single point style, their computer telling them they are for a dual setup but they're wrong. Anyone happen to get any of these lately from a local parts store and know the part#? Thanks. 1968 Barracuda Fastback 318-2BBL 904 2.76 Frost Blue Survivor 1970 Roadrunner 440+6 BBL 727 AT 4.10 SG Dana Blue Fire Metallic 1971 Cuda 340-4 BBL 4spd 3.91 SG Curious Yellow 1972 Barracuda 318-2 BBL 904 AT 3.23 1 Legger Tor Red/White Vinyl Top 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi AT Patriot Blue 2011 Dodge Challenger RT 5.7 Hemi 6spd 392 SG Triple Black 2014 Dodge Charger RT Max AWD 5.7 Hemi AT 305 Billet Silver

Since your trip is several weeks away you'd have time to contact him/purchase a pair/get em sent to you. Otherwise I'd just call the rest of your parts houses & see what turns up live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I looked this number up on the Napa site and they are like the set that were incorrect that I already bought from O Reilly. The mounting and breaker point is just the opposite of what I need. I have the original Prestolite Dual point for a 1971 340. What application did you purchase the CS720P for? 1968 Barracuda Fastback 318-2BBL 904 2.76 Frost Blue Survivor 1970 Roadrunner 440+6 BBL 727 AT 4.10 SG Dana Blue Fire Metallic 1971 Cuda 340-4 BBL 4spd 3.91 SG Curious Yellow 1972 Barracuda 318-2 BBL 904 AT 3.23 1 Legger Tor Red/White Vinyl Top 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi AT Patriot Blue 2011 Dodge Challenger RT 5.7 Hemi 6spd 392 SG Triple Black 2014 Dodge Charger RT Max AWD 5.7 Hemi AT 305 Billet Silver
