Default Dual Point Distributor

I am help a friend out on something so I do not have distributor in front of me. It is a 427-400 tri power car. Did these cars come with dual points or single point distributors? I would know by looking at it but do not have that option right now.

No C3 Vettes used dual point distributors. All 1968 - 1974 distributors are single point or the optional TI.
