Magnetic-pickup distributors also retard based on speed. GM used to say "1 degree per thousand rpm" but it's not that simple. It's gotta be tested. It's approximately 1 degree per thousand, but not exactly.

I didn't know that points did that. In fact, as long as the point spring kept the points under control, I don't know why they would.
