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 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 They allow you to upgrade your outdated points or stock electronic distributor with a performance-proven unit.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.

XS Power AGM Batteries

XS Power AGM batteries are some of the lightest racing batteries on the market. Independent test results have proven that they outperform other battery models that outweigh these power providers by up to 20 lbs. Cutting-edge lead acid battery technology produces more energy in a smaller space because each cell is compressed before case insertion, resulting in efficient power-producing packages that are completely sealed with no need to ever add water. This design is ideal for the abuse of racing, making these the batteries of choice for demanding racers and Monster Truck drivers who need top performance and reliability. When you are pushing to power the impossible, you need the non-stop capabilities of the XS Power AGM batteries best suited for your application. Product features include: * Designed to be an inch shorter than what the competition offers for fitting in places where space is at a premium * Deep-cycling ability and ultra-low internal resistance results in high cranking amps and excellent vibration resistance * Variable position mounting (except upside-down) thanks to the no-spill design * Offered in 6 V, 12 V, 14 V, and 16 V models

MSD Pro-Billet Distributors

MSD Pro-Billet distributors share the same CNC machining techniques as the rest of the MSD distributor line. They feature a housing that's machined from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum for durability and show-quality looks. Their oversized shaft receives a QPQ coating for friction reduction and corrosion resistance, with the added strength of two sealed ball bearings that guide the shaft accurately at well over 10,000 rpm. An extra-long sintered bushing replaces the ball bearing at the bottom of Chevrolet models. TIG-welded on top of the polished steel shaft is MSD's accurate mechanical advance assembly. The weights are supported by nylon pads that allow the advance to operate smoothly throughout the rpm range. For all-out racing, the advance mechanism can also be easily locked out. To accurately trigger the ignition, a high-output magnetic pickup is bolted to the base. This pickup produces a precise trigger signal that will never vary more than one degree at any rpm. A durable gear is installed for performance applications, and an MSD red cap with brass terminals and race rotor is supplied. They're available in standard and small diameter models for applications with limited clearance, and require the use of a separate ignition box such as an MSD 6, 7, 8, or 10 Series ignition.

MSD Steel Distributor Gears

MSD's high-grade steel distributor gears are burnished for a smooth, scuff-free finish, and are machined for precise gear mesh. Excessive clearance causes timing fluctuation throughout the rpm range, resulting in lost horsepower, so MSD also designed these gears for tighter mesh between the camshaft and distributor drive gears.

NGK V-Power Spark Plugs

NGK V-Power spark plugs offer economical performance for nearly any automotive application—and they're the only plugs with NGK's V-Groove technology. These plugs enhance ignitability, lower the voltage requirements of ignition systems, and have strong anti-fouling characteristics, while improving fuel mileage and acceleration performance. The V-Power plugs are also highly durable against electrical and chemical wear, making them long-life replacement plugs. Because of the V-Groove, the spark occurs at the edge of the center electrode—so heat is not absorbed by the electrode itself. This allows the flame kernel to expand quickly and efficiently for a complete burn and great performance. More than a hundred models are available, both universal and application-specific; order the plugs designed for fitment on your vehicle.

They include the patented Ignitor III® electronic ignition module and a CNC-machined 6061 T-6 polished billet housing. The Ignitor III® features adaptive dwell, which maintains peak energy throughout the entire rpm range, reduces misfires and improves engine performance. Peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy without the heat buildup and increased coil performance and module reliability. They adjust spark timing at higher rpm to compensate for the inherent electronic delay and increase energy for quicker, easier starting by sensing startup. The PerTronix Flame-Thrower plug and play billet distributors with Ignitor III® module have an integrated digital rev limiter with LED feedback for precise RPM setting and a memory safe function that stores settings eliminating unintended changes to the rev limit.
