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.
- For ignition-coil replacement in compatible systems; confirm primary resistance and ignition-module compatibility.
- Canister-style configuration suits the specified ignition installation.
- Designed to pair with a compatible Ignitor electronic conversion kit.
- Suitable for compatible distributor-type inductive ignition systems.
- Higher-voltage design supports increased spark plug gap where appropriate for the engine setup.
- Match coil resistance and ignition-system requirements before installation.

Flame-thrower coil by Pertronix
I replaced my old ign/system with a Pertronix no contact system with a flame-thrower coil in my 50 Merc V8 flathead. The flathead runs better, startes better than it ever has before. A great up date to the flathead with no problems.

Added this Flame-Thrower Coil along with the Pertronix electronic ignition to make my 1950 F-1 more reliable. The difference is amazing. It also added some bling that went well with the new air filter, breather, aluminum heads, radiator hose dress up kit.

I am installing electronic ignition on an 8BA flatty. I ordered the Pertronix 12v distributor module and the 40,000v coil. I presume with this module and the 1.5 ohm coil I don't need the ballast anymore? What plug gap can I run now?
