The Pertronix Flame Thrower Distributor with 6 Volt Ignitor Electronic Ignition Module can be used on all VW Type 1,2 & 3 Carbureted Engines. The Flame Thrower 6 volt performance distributor Ignitor Ignition module is for negative ground systems and ensures fast starts, better performance and economy. Pertronix recommends a 6 Volt, 1.5 Ohm resistance coil such as their part numbers 40001, 40011 or 40111.

Note, Suppression or Spiral wound spark plug wires must be used with the Ignitor, solid core plug wires will cause electronic interference!


Please note: this distributor will not work with fuel injected engines.

PerTronix Flame Thrower Distributor with 6 Volt Ignitor Electronic Ignition Features:


-Custom Mechanical Advance curve for great drive-ability and performance
-Bosch Style Replacement Cap & Rotor so no need for specialty Tune-Up parts
-Increased voltage to your spark plugs for longer spark plug life
-More horsepower and better fuel economy
-No moving parts to wear out
-Sealed for protection against dirt, oil, grease and moisture
-Stable timing for a "set it and forget it" ignition timing adjustment


Unless you have a tachometer (gauge), the distributor should be the only item connected to the negative (“1” or “-“) side of the ignition coil.

Distributor with Points

Distributor Diagram for Points

If your distributor only has one (most commonly green) wire, it has points and a condenser. Connect the wire from the condenser to the negative side of the coil.

Distributor with Electronic Ignition

Distributor Diagram for Electronic Ignition

If your distributor only has two wires (most commonly a black and a red wire) it has an electronic ignition. Connect the black wire from the electronic ignition to the negative side of the coil. The red wire from the electronic ignition will connect to the positive side (“15” or “+“) of the coil. Most importantly - the coil will have other black wires on the positive side which are “key hot” wires. It may look odd, but hooking up the black wire from the electronic ignition with the other black wires on the positive side of the coil will fry the electronic points.

(Note, the negative connection on the coil should never be connected to ground. Doing so will ground out the coil and it will not operate.)
