Ignitor Electronic Ignition Conversion Kits have proven themselves in applications ranging from race cars to tractors. It is the number one Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit to replace original mechanical points. A Pertronix Points Conversion kit allows you to run a stock distributor while improving the reliability and performance of your ignition system. The Pertronix Ignitor kits simply bolt to the distributor in place of the points assembly and provides a much more accurate trigger signal. This improves the timing accuracy and prevents ‘points bounce’ at higher rpm. The electronic technology also improves the dwell control to improve the spark output of the coil resulting in a hotter spark at the spark plug. With this dependable, self-contained, maintenance free electronic ignition system you'll never replace your points again.
  • 12-Volt Negative Ground
  • Delivers twice the voltage to the spark plugs, increasing horsepower, fuel economy, and spark plug life.
  • 2:1 improvement over \"points\" in current fall time for increased coil output.
  • Rotating cobalt magnets trigger a Hall Effect integrated circuit; no points to burn; no moving parts to wear out.
  • Epoxy molding makes our module impervious to dirt, oil, grease and moisture.
  • Stable timing; no need for any adjustments.
  • Pair with a Flame Thrower Canister Coil for optimal performance.
  • Legal in all 50 states and Canada (C.A.R.B. E.O. #D-57-22)
The original Ignitor module is ideal for restorations. Ignitor Module Kits are extremely easy to install and fit into your original distributor to maintain your stock look. No additional ignition box is required keeping a clean look under the hood.



PerTronix Coil Features
  • 40,000 volts.
  • Available chrome plated or black for that "stock look".
  • For use with inductive ignition systems.
  • 1.5 or 3.0 Ohm primary resistance values available.
  • Legal in all 50 states and Canada. (C.A.R.B. E.O. #D-57-21)

The Flame-Thrower canister style coil has been engineered to complement our Ignitor Electronic Ignition Conversion Kits and Plug n’ Play Distributors. Choose from the Flame-Thrower, Flame-Thrower II, and the Flame-Thrower III depending upon system voltage and resistance. Oil filled coils offer great heat control for street driven vehicles, while epoxy filled coils provide superior winding support for high vibration environments in off-road vehicles and boats.

The Flame Thrower canister coil is designed to mate with the Ignitor Electronic Conversion Kit, but can benefit virtually any distributor type inductive systems. Higher voltage allows larger spark plug gap for added power, smoother response, and improved fuel economy.
