PerTronix Ignitor® Solid-State Ignition Systems
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.

Ridetech Ridepro E5 Ride Height Sensor Kits
Ridetech Ridepro-HP Ride Height sensor kits upgrade your existing Ridepro E5 pressure-based system. They work together to deliver the ultimate air suspension management systems measuring both pressure and ride height accurately. With the addition of Ridepro-HP, ride height and spring balance (loads) are established by comparing the position of the ride height sensor to the air pressure within each air spring. Your car is leveled with no cross loading, which is especially important for dynamic driving scenarios where quick transitions occur, such as high performance driving, sudden directional changes, and panic stops. Ridetech complete Ridepro-HP kits include and feature: * Four ride height sensors * Four ride height sensor linkage kits * Group harness * 1/4 in. sensor bolts with Nyloc nuts and flat washers * Mounting tabs, heat shrink tubes, and installation guide * Easy installation * Heavy-duty ride height sensors * Bendable linkage rods with rubberized rod ends * Weatherproof connectors and wiring harnesses

Stromberg E-Fire High Performance Spark Plug Wires
Stromberg E-Fire High Performance spark plug wires are designed for flathead Ford applications—whether you have a front mount (59A) or top mount (8BA) distributor. Designed to work with both electronic and points-style distributors, E-FIRE plug wires give you strong fire power with high-level RFI/EMI resistance. The spiral-wound, stainless steel suppression core is protected by tough fiberglass reinforcing braid for strength and flexibility. And the 100 percent silicone insulation resists high temperatures, moisture, oil and chemicals, and protects against arcing and voltage leaks. With low 500 Ohm/ft resistance, they get more energy into your plugs. With the Ford flathead engine firmly in mind, Stromberg designed the 90-degree cap terminals and boots to be pre-fitted for smarter 'distributor first' installation. This eliminates the difficult task of trimming front mount wires up close to the radiator where access is limited—and also leaves you free to use the supplied 90-degree spark plug boots or choose your own hot rod terminals. All leads are 7mm diameter, so they fit through your flathead plug wire looms or tubes. They're cut to length, too, with a long coil wire to reach your firewall.

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.

Champion Platinum Power Spark Plugs
Champion Platinum Power spark plugs use a platinum pad welded to a nickel alloy center electrode for long life. Platinum has extremely good wear characteristics and can reduce gap growth. Champion Platinum Power spark plugs use a thin-wire center electrode with their exclusive Heat-Active alloy to reach operating temperatures quickly and maintain stable temperatures under varying engine loads. Because the plugs maintain the proper gap, the voltage needed to fire them remains consistent, reducing the chance of misfire. Get rid of those old spark plugs and try some of these Champion Platinum Power spark plugs for increased efficiency and reliability.

MSD Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run Distributors
MSD Pro-Billet Ready-to-Run distributors are the perfect upgrade for weak OE electronic distributors, outdated points distributors, and large HEIs or DuraSparks. All that's required is to install the distributor in the engine, and connect three wires and the coil! A maintenance-free magnetic pickup accurately triggers this ignition with increased output from the amplifier, easily outperforming stock ignitions. It will smooth out the engine's idle, improve starting, and perform at a much higher rpm. The housing is machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminum, using state-of-the-art CNC mills and lathes for a unit with no porosity or weak areas. For stability and endurance, an oversized steel shaft spins in a top-mounted sealed ball bearing, while an extra-long sintered bushing guides the shaft at the base of the housing. This shaft also receives a QPQ coating for low friction wear and resistance against corrosion from humidity and ozone buildup. The distributors feature MSD's adjustable mechanical advance, which allows you to custom-tailor an ignition curve to match your engine's needs. Most models are also available with a vacuum advance canister to help improve economy. Order the model recommended for your vehicle and engine application.
