Going to One Distributor, Why?

Forgive my ignorance just curious. I see a lot of 308 rebuilds where they have deleted the dual distributor setup and gone with a single distributor on the rear bank.

Is this simply to make it easier to tune? Or is there some other benefit to this?

 

Dual distributors will have slightly different advance curves. This can cause some uneven acceleration.

 

For injected cars it wouldn't matter.

 

Front distributor? I have a couple S127s and was thinking of putting one on the front bank of my GTB for the single source advance and no secondary nonsense.

 

I modified my rear distributor to have the points plate 135 degrees from other points.
I have R2 fire the front coil and R1 fire the rear coil. Front distributor just distributes the
Spark to front plugs. Runs very smooth when accelerating and at idle.
