PerTronix Flame-Thrower Plug and Play Billet Distributors with Ignitor II® Module

PerTronix Flame-Thrower plug and play billet distributors with Ignitor II® module are designed to provide maximum ignition performance and easy installation, all at a price that you can afford. They allow you to upgrade your outdated points or stock electronic distributor with a performance-proven unit. The distributors feature the patented Ignitor II® electronic ignition module and a CNC-machined 6061 T-6 polished billet housing. PerTronix electronics are compatible with any inductive ignition system coil, but high-rpm performance can be improved when they are used with the low-resistance (0.6 ohm) Flame-Thrower II coil. Their stand-alone design makes them plug-in units that require no additional ignition, but they are compatible with multi-spark CD ignition boxes for outstanding versatility. Additional features include a tempered shaft, an upper roller bearing, and an oil-impregnated sintered bronze lower bushing. The PerTronix Flame-Thrower plug and play billet distributors with Ignitor II® module come with a factory-set performance curve, a mechanical advance limiting adjustment, and a small, high-dielectric strength cap and rotor for applications with little clearance.

An over-molded magnetic pickup coil supports windings, while providing excellent resistance to corrosion. Tyco Mate-N-Lok connectors work with most ignition system harnesses. A specially engineered reluctor made from lightweight FC-0208 alloy offers superior dimensional stability for symmetrical spark separation. PerTronix Flame-Thrower magnetic trigger billet distributors are compatible with most capacitive discharge ignition boxes.

PerTronix Ignitor II® Solid-State Ignition Systems

Not ones to leave well enough alone, the engineers at PerTronix set out to improve upon their highly successful Ignitor® ignition conversion systems. The Ignitor II® conversion systems have all of the same quality features as the original Ignitor®, plus a powerful microprocessor controller to deliver, on average, 4x more available energy between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm than standard ignition systems. They're an ideal choice for collector car restoration because they fit entirely under the distributor cap. Order the model recommended for your year/make, distributor and engine application. Features include: * Compatible with 12 V negative ground systems and any induction coil * High-rpm performance is improved when used with the PerTronix Flame-Thrower II super low- resistance (0.6 ohms) 45,000 V coil * Adaptive dwell maintains peak energy throughout the entire rpm range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance * Develops, on average, 2x more available plug voltage * Peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy without heat build-up, increasing coil and module life * Never change points again * Adjusts spark timing at higher rpm to compensate for the inherent electronic delay * Senses startup and develops more energy for quicker, easier starting * Built-in reverse polarity and over-current protection shuts down the system, preventing component damage * Cannot be used with solid core spark plug wires; suppression-style or spiral-wound spark plug wires must be used
