Pertronix Flame-Thrower stock look cast distributors are loaded with all of the features that you would expect from a high performance part, and yet they maintain the original look, for the ultimate "sleeper." Pertronix builds each distributor with all-new components, not from remanufactured parts like some companies do.

Each distributor is complete with a high-quality cap and rotor, so you're ready to run right out of the box.

Stock look distributor features include:

* All-new lightweight cast aluminum housing, modeled after the original Delco and Motorcraft distributors
* Hardened gear ground to exact tolerances for precise mesh with cam
* Adjustable vacuum advance canister, providing extra tunability
* Optimized phasing to ensure maximum energy to the spark plug
* Tailored advance curve for optimal performance and drivability
* Integrated electronic ignition--available with solid-state Ignitor or the powerful Ignitor III with built-in adjustable REV limiter and multi-spark through redline
* High dielectric strength cap and rotor with brass contacts
* Legal in all 50 states and Canada (C.A.R.B. E.O. #D-57-23)

Questions & Answers Ask a Product Question

We replace a point distributor with this unit. Does this one use the voltage reducer or 12 volts?

Asked by RICHARD on July 20, 2016

The distributor uses the voltage reducer that is located on the firewall along with the regular coil.

RONALD from VA answered on July 24, 2016

12 volts

from NV answered on July 22, 2016

12 volts

CLIFFORD from IN answered on July 22, 2016

12 volts

GEORGE from GA answered on July 22, 2016

No voltage reducer needed. We suggest using the coil that is suggested.

RALPH from UT answered on July 22, 2016

with the correct coil that has the correct resistance then the distributor can be used without another external resister

GEORGE from DE answered on July 24, 2016

It uses 12 volts. You need to use the coil that goes with this distributor.

BOB from TX answered on July 22, 2016

12 volts

I have a Chevy small block 327 with stock cast iron exhaust manifolds. I want to use black plug wires that resemble stock and are routed under the manifolds with the pertronix distributor. 90 degree terminals both at the distributor and the plugs.I’d like to order the distributor, coil and plug wires all at once. Can you recommend a package?

Asked by PAUL on January 12, 2018

Distributor and coil are fine, if you want a stock look buy the stuff and assemble your own wires one at a time...........

GEORGE from GA answered on January 19, 2018

I myself have a similar set up and got the matching flamethrower coil to go with the flamethrower series distributor. I would recommend getting the matching set of coil and distributor for better spark and power. As far as the wires go maybe Mallory or MSD or any other good set via summit racing.

NICHOLAS from WA answered on January 13, 2018

I have this distributor in a 57 chevy with a 327 and cast iron manifolds. Works fine. You need a resistor coil and do not use ballast resistor in circuit (you could leave it for looks just wire 12v straight to coil).I made my wires up myself but this distributor cap has same terminals as o.e.m. so you could order a pre-made set if you desire.

DAVID from KY answered on January 17, 2018

Great dist. I would go with the high voltage flame thrower coil part #pnx-400001 plug wires I like the sum-881000 universal these come with 90 degree boots and you have to cut and assemble them (Better routing options). You may need a plug wire crimping tool for best factory results summit has those too. This is pretty much same set-up I am currently using. No problems since installed by me. Be about 2 years in June. Hope this helps

LAWRENCE E from IN answered on January 16, 2018

The D104600 that I installed in my 57p/u a few months back has worked out fine so far.It's my daily driver,by the way.And NO MORE POINTS to fuss with!Had I needed a coil&wires,I might have used this package because the coil&distributor match easily.I miss my early 327.It served me well.

Will the stock plug wires that are currently in the stock cap work with the pertronix dist. cap

Asked by KENNETH J on March 15, 2017

Yes they will, remember this is a stock look replacement

MARK from Australia answered on March 22, 2017

Yes, they do.

MICHAEL from FL answered on March 16, 2017

Yes I used new Taylor wires but stock wires with the corrct boots should work

GEORGE from DE answered on March 17, 2017

Yes, depending on what you are referring to as stock, 283 I am assuming.

MICHAEL C from UT answered on March 18, 2017

yes

Hi, does anyone know if this will fit an older gm 427 truck engine? It's in an older c65 grain truck. I have heard that these have a taller deck so I didn't know if I would have length issues with the shaft?

Asked by THOMAS on September 13, 2017

To my knowledge it should work pertronix claims in their ad that will fit all small blocks and big blocks except no mention of the w-series blocks 348/409 I had clearance issues in a 76 small block with other distributors when I replace the hei with an external coil distributor the pertronix flame thrower fit just fine. Excellent choice will keep using pertronix in future

LAWRENCE E from IN answered on September 15, 2017

It will but you will have to remove the oil pan to change the oil pump shaft. You will have to use a shaft for a HEI truck distributor. The drive on the new distributor will not work with the original oil pump shaft.
good Luck.

WAYNE from MN answered on September 17, 2017

I am pretty sure it won't, tall blocks have a longer distributor
