I took this off of HAMB (btw, the "Double-life" is what I have on my Deuce right now):

<span style="font-style: italic">Double-life:
4-lobe cam, two separate sets of points connected together with one condensor. This is wired to a normal coil.
The only benefit of this over a normal single point distributor is that the points last longer as each set is only firing 4 times per revolution.


Rev-pol:
4-lobe cam, two separate sets of points, each with their own condenser and wired to separate primaries on the special Rev-pol coil. This coil has a single secondary terminal that connects to the distributor cap.
My guess is that this offers some of the benefits of a dual-coil setup without having to use two coils and a special distributor cap.


Hence, if you have a Rev-pol, but can't find the special coil, you can remove the second condenser, wire the points together and run it with a normal coil.
