Rick and Pat are right about it being a Mallory dual point. I have subsequently changed it to an electronic unit.
The car had been running flawlessly up until this startup. No misses, stumbling or anything and it had never backfired thru the carb before. I had worked on the carb the day before and didn't get one fitting completely tightened.....my screwup.
The rotor looked fine to me. No noticable damage or signs of arcing.
