FLAME-THROWER II COIL APPLICATIONS
Use with:
System
Voltage
Cylinders
Primary
Resistance
Recommended Flame-Thrower II
Coils
Black Chrome Epoxy
Ignitor II 12V ALL 0.6 ohms 45011 45001 45111
Ignitor III 12V ALL 0.6 ohms 45011 45001 45111
Ignitor 6V* 8 0.6 ohms 45011 45001 45111
*NOTE: Flamethrower II coil is a 12V coil and it’s recomended on 8 cylinder applications with 6V
systems.
NOTE: The Flame-Thrower II coil can be used with the Ingitor III or Capacitive Discharge (CD)
systems that controls dwell or limits the current.
Do NOT remove the ballast resistor or resistance wire if the primary resistance is lower
than specified.
1. To remove a ballast resistor (normally white ceramic blocks 3 to 4” inches long),
disconnect all wires on both ends of the ballast resistor. Remove the resistor from
the vehicle and splice the wires together at a single point.
2. The resistance wire is located between the ignition switch and the firewall on most
applications.
• Locate the resistance wire, cut it out, and replace with a 12-gauge copper
stranded wire or:
• Bypass resistance wire, connect a 12-gauge copper stranded wire from a 12-volt
switched ignition source to the postive (+) terminal of the coil.
NOTE: REMOVE OR BYPASS EXTERNAL BALLAST RESISTOR OR RESISTANCE
WIRE WHEN INSTALLING THE RECOMENDED FLAME-THROWER II COIL.
SPARK PLUG GAP
In stock applications, the manufacturer’s recommended spark plug, and spark plug
gap will work best. For performance applications, the spark plug gap may be increased
up to 0.010” from manufacturer’s specifications to take advantage of the extra energy,
produced by the Flame-Thrower II coil. Since PerTronix cannot test every configuration,
the end user must determine what spark plug gap works best for their application.
