Default So I got that Pertronix Kit...

You are getting the Pertronix II Ignition, 45,000 volt Flamethrower II coil, and the Pertronix 7mm black stock look plug wire kit. This is a complete set up from Pertronix.

This is the first time we have offered this on ebay,but sell alot of these kits off ebay.You can price these sets seperate and see how much you are saving!.

At this time the kits are only offered for the 1957-1974 8 CYL FORD,CHEVY,BUICK,PONTIAC OR OLDS.If you have any questions?

Email us or call 1 850 857 1084. Thanks Matt FREE SHIPPING TO LOWER 48 STATES,FREE SHIP,FREE SHIP

We have the chrome coil for 5.00 more.


Got it for $165 to my door. Well it's on the way anyways. I priced them all separately.. came up to about $185 without shipping yet. So... I think I got a decent deal. I've a buddy just put the Pertronix 1 and Flamethrower into his '68 Camero and he can't stop talking about how great it starts up. He's pretty much saying it starts better than his newer cars now.

Bought it from these guys Ponderosa Mustang

Their prices seem pretty fair... especially with shipping included.

I have it too, and I don't even hear my starter turn over before she starts. Not only that, she runs smooth as glass on the road. My gas mileage also improved. Seems to have a few more ponies too.

Flame-Thrower IIs are available in chrome or black (epoxy, black only), and are not for use with original Ignitor ignition systems. so what does that mean i have to up grade my ignition?

I had one of the kits to convert the OEM over to electronic. POS!!! It went bad and took out my coil too... So, MSD all the way for me.. Got my new MSD all in one distributor last week. That's going in the new engine along with my new Flame-Thrower coil...

Here's the link, got it on sale for $270 from summit...

The coil converts the input volt, 12v on our cars, to the high output-volt needed to create sparks in the gap on the spark-plugs

this is what i was talking about. the ignition box.



than this would be the coil

and we know what the dizzy looks like. now, how does the dizzy/coil connect with the ignition box? and what does the ignition box do?
