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.

PerTronix Ignitor Lobe Sensor Solid-State Ignition Systems
PerTronix Ignitor lobe sensor solid-state ignition systems replace breaker points and troublesome factory units with a dependable, self-contained, and maintenance-free electronic ignition system. The Ignitor has been called the "stealth" ignition because of its quick installation and nearly undetectable presence under your distributor cap. There is no "black box" to clutter the engine compartment. PerTronix Ignitor has proven itself in applications ranging from race cars to tractors. Order the model recommended for your vehicle, engine, and distributor application. Product features: * Delivers twice the voltage to your spark plugs—increasing horsepower, fuel economy, and spark plug life * 2:1 improvement over "points" in current fall time for increased coil output * No points to burn or moving parts to wear out * No magnetic sleeve or ring needed; uses existing distributor lobe for sensor trigger * Epoxy molding makes the module impervious to dirt, oil, grease, and moisture * Stable timing—no need for any adjustments * Will trigger most multi-spark CD ignitions * Available for 6 and 12 V negative and positive ground systems

PerTronix Ignitor III® Solid-State Ignition Systems
These PerTronix Ignitor III® solid-state ignition systems feature an adaptive dwell that maintains peak energy throughout the entire rpm range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance. Peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy without the heat buildup, increasing coil performance and module reliability. They adjust spark timing at higher rpm to compensate for the inherent electronic delay, sense startup, and develop more energy for quicker, easier starting. The PerTronix Ignitor III® solid-state ignition systems have a built-in LED for user feedback confirmation of the rev limiter setting.

Proform Street/Strip HEI Distributors
Proform's Street/Strip HEI distributors have a variety of improvements over stock HEI distributors, such as a 50,000 V coil, a premium hi-dielectric cap with brass terminals, both upper and lower bushings for added durability, a low-saturation ignition module, and no voltage-reducing ballast resistors. These units offer calibrated advance curves that are optimized for maximum combustion efficiency, and the elimination of detonation damage and throttle ping. The distributors offer longer-term durability and a higher voltage spark that permits a bigger spark plug gap, resulting in more power and reduced plug fouling. The Ford models' internal coil and module make it possible for Blue Oval owners to avoid the unsightly wiring of stock Ford electronic ignitions. By eliminating the stock Ford or AMC ballast resistor, you'll get more ignition voltage, resulting in an improved spark. Another advantage to switching to HEI is access to easily-found HEI replacement parts. The Ford units are also assembled with upper and lower bushings, an upgrade from stock distributors that only have a single bushing. They're easy to install by connecting one 12 V hot wire to the distributor, making them a quick performance upgrade.

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.

Mallory Unilite Breakerless Ignition Conversion Kits
Convert your OEM-style breaker points and condenser to the more reliable Unilite ignition from Mallory. These self-contained units have no moving parts to wear out, so they provide many years of trouble-free service. Simply replace the points with the Unilite module, which consists of a photo coupler, signal processor, and power switch. Each time the shutter wheel stops the infrared light from reaching the photo coupler, the electronic circuitry energizes the ignition coil. When the shutter wheel allows the light to reach the photo coupler, the stored energy in the coil discharges. These kits can drive both OEM and high-performance ignition coils, and are designed for 12 V negative ground systems.

PerTronix Flame-Thrower HEI Distributors
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.
