Mallory Ignition Parts

Another doc talks about the "new" 10,000 RPM high performance ignitition system. It reads: the NEW street-strip performance switch lets you control current from the dash.

Complete Rev-Pol igntition system produces more voltage faster than any existing conventional battery ignition. Extra hot long duration spark gives top performance at every speed with higher RPM's.

The Rev-Pol distributor is hi-performance advance curved for maximum ignition output throughout the RPM range. Special dual points eliminate float and bounce.

The Rev-Pol Transformer changes direct current to alternating current and reverses polarity of transformer core to produce a long duration and high value "magneto action" spark.

The NEW Street/Strip switch lets you increase the primary current from the dash whenever extra-hi-performance is needed.

I also cracked open my NOS in the box Chevy Rev-Pol set-up complete with Street/Strip switch and read the instructions. They don't talk alot about what the switch actually does but does make WARNING to NEVER operate the system in the "STRIP" poition under normal driving conditions. LOL.

Good stuff Mike! That's a lot more info than I had with the Rev Pol transformer. It also sounds like there are no diferences between a Double Life and a Rev Pol distributor? Maybe you can clarify that a little better since you have an NOS Rev Pol distributor?

Good info! Thanks

Jed - the one big diff betw dbl life and rev/pol dizzys is the latter has TWO condensers - one supporting each set of points separately (the dbl life has one condenser for both sets of points). So, I think you can send a hotter spark (twice as much?) to the spark plugs with a rev/pol dizzy.

Sam, I have no clue on that one. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] The schematics show the dizzy as having only one condenser???? And the replacement parts list show only one condenser too, but if there were two, I'm sure they would be the same part number. So... maybe Mike can clarify if the RevPol dizzy had two condensers? I know I'm stumped.

Jed,

I have an NOS HP 310 Rev/Pol dizzy with two condensers. I don't have a picture available. This type is designed to have two independent circuits. With the rev/pol double condenser, each condenser is only in circuit with one of the condensers vs with the double life (single condenser) one condenser feeds both points (breakers).

Ugh! I was afraid of that Sam! Are you going to the show this week?

[mockingbird812]

Yes - I will be there with BELLS! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

the double life name was from each set of points working half the time so they lasted twice as long

the Rev Pol name was for reverse polarity that was used in their special design coil. The rev pol system would give a hotter spark that they claim was like a magneto

Sweet!! I can't wait to meet you. I will bring some of my toys with when I come out with bbbenny.
