If I understand it correctly, adjusting by changing the points gap is rather crude. It also messes with your dwell time. By adjusting with the lobe, you can get the dwell time and the point gap closer to ideal. Not that there is anything wrong with stock. My main reason is this is the only way I have found to use the pristine Magnum series camshaft I have here. The points lobe was never ground into it. So in addition to getting the cheater treatment on the duration, they are gonna install their cam points lobe on the Magnum cam thereby allowing me to use it in a K series engine. The adustibility is just gravy.
