PerTronix Ignitor® solid-state ignition systems deliver more energy with greater timing accuracy. The secret lies in the trigger magnets, which spin with the rotor and operate a switching module that requires no external control box. These systems are immune to heat, oil, and debris—and install in about 15 minutes with only two wires to connect. They come with a switching module, hardware, and instructions. Ignitor® is an ideal choice for collector car restoration because it fits entirely under the distributor cap.

Flame-Thrower Race HEI distributors from PerTronix produce 42 percent more energy in the coil, with 46 percent faster spark breakdown time. This allows 48 percent more peak current to reach the spark plug, compared to their Street/Strip HEI distributors. That's an enormous improvement over stock HEIs and most aftermarket HEI distributors. A specially designed vacuum lockout mechanism prevents timing adjustments that change rotor phasing, adversely affecting the burn time and efficient fuel combustion. The rotor plates are TIG-welded to the mechanical advance mechanism, preventing high-rpm distortion and improving mechanical reliability. Each distributor uses a new aluminum housing cast and is machined from a strong, but lightweight A384 alloy. They're supplied with a high-dielectric strength cap with solid brass terminals, a balanced rotor, and a low-resistance center coil brush. Also included are nylon rotor hold-down screws and a factory-installed, high performance mechanical curve kit with precision-machined weights and a center plate. A hardened, machined steel gear is standard, along with an electronic module and coil combination that excels in the 6,000 to 8,500 rpm range. These distributors are great for both Circle Track and drag race applications where factory-type HEI distributors are mandated.

Experts agree that HEI ignition performance relies on a quality module and coil. Pertronix believes the combination of a great module and a great coil makes their Flame-Thrower HEI distributors the best. They've engineered the module and coil to work together to provide you with superior ignition performance on the street or track. Compare the Flame-Thrower high performance module and coil to an original GM HEI distributor and you'll find these improvements: * Operates without misfires up to a minimum of 7,500 rpm, nearly 3,000 rpm higher than most enthusiasts report with their original HEI * Produces 67 percent more energy in the coil * Spark breakdown time (the amount of time until the spark plug has enough voltage to spark) is 45 percent faster, resulting in more accurate timing throughout the rpm range * Delivers twice the energy across the spark gap (during a one-millisecond burn time) * Spark duration and more energy to the spark allow wider plug gaps (.050 in.-.055 in.), increasing flame kernel growth These are dramatic improvements, not just because of a great module and coil, but also because they've been designed to work as a team to produce these results. Models and options are available for applications from the 1950s and up.
