Sure , some of the Mallorys use a single set of contacts.
The only reason for the dual points is to increase the coil saturation at higher rpm. ( more than likely not needed on a flathead with a lower rpm band)
In a dual point one set "makes" the circuit and the other set brakes the circuit. The break set burns up quicker . A dual point unit runs a little longer dwell( coil saturation time) as well.
Probably the best way to handle it is to install a pertronixs electronic ,module and curve the unit for the flathead and have the best of all worlds....
