Henry,
I understand that when a belt goes bad on a 3.6 twin cap distributor the rotor is going to fire for every cylinder at the set position that the rotor stopped on the lower half of the dist. With this being the case, it would be possible for 6 firing events at that plug for every 720 degree engine cycle. Thus the ignition system is still working for both caps. I can see engine damage resulting from this.
I don't see where any engine damage would result if you had two MSD boxes and one box failed, whether you had a 3.6 distr. with the belt intact or an earlier RSR factory type distr. with twin plug , single cap. You would end up running on one set up plugs with corresponing power loss.
